Chan also had a long tenure on Batman and Detective Comics.
Other than his work on Batman, Chan primarily focused on non-superhero characters, staying mostly in the genres of horror, war, and sword and sorcery.
Ernie Chan was born Ernie Chua due to what he called "a typographical error on my birth certificate that I had to use until I had a chance to change it to 'Chan' when I got my [U.S.] citizenship in '76."
He migrated to the United States in 1970 and became a citizen in 1976.
For a number of years, he worked under the name Ernie Chua but he was later credited as Ernie Chan.
He studied with John Buscema and worked with him as the inker on Conan during the 1970s.

By 1974, he was working regularly for Marvel Comics on Conan the Barbarian.
From 1975–1976, Chan worked exclusively for DC including the artwork for Claw the Unconquered which was written by David Michelinie.
Under the name Chua, he was DC Comics' primary cover artist from approximately 1975 to 1977.
While working on the Detective Comics series, he drew the first appearances of Captain Stingaree in issue #460 (June 1976) and the Black Spider in #463 (Sept. 1976).
Chan pencilled several issues of Conan and Doctor Strange, and worked on Kull the Destroyer in 1977 and Power Man and Iron Fist in the 1980s.
From about 1978 onward, he worked almost exclusively for Marvel and focused on Conan in the 1980s.
