CBR Reports:

"Veteran artist Ernie Chan, perhaps best remembered for his work in the 1970s on Batman and Conan the Barbarian, passed away Wednesday at age 71. According to cartoonist Gerry Alanguilan, Chan recently had been diagnosed with cancer. His death follows that of fellow Filipino artist Tony DeZuniga last week."

One of the 1970s DC go-to cover artists. I especially like this one:

Aw, both DeZuniga and Chan.
And still relatively young. Aww…  :(
R.I.P., I’ll say a prayer for both.
