Official Iron Maiden artwork and fan drawn Eddies (no AI images please)

The Book Of Souls & Senjutsu -> original and the ''real'' covers with details (from the booklets)!

Which ones do you prefer more? I like the originals a lot, but I will always say the others.

I like that in TFP tour poster we finally get to see Senjutsu Eddie's army:

Brave men - they were only hinted at here, where they had to protect ''The Wall''!

I know the single cover of TWOTW is inspired by the video, but something similar would have been amazing and very fitting for the theme of the song. It would have been a great addition to the booklet - along with a big picture of the tower!
 
Iron Maiden, The Future Past tour - ''Senjutsu'' and ''Stranger In A Strange Land'' Eddies!

I'd keep the Senjutsu cover as is, but the alternate Book of Souls cover would work quite well. Perhaps just darken the background a tick. Alternate Senjutsu cover just seems too bright to me.

Derek Riggs Iron Maiden eonmusic Interview February 2023

As the creator of Eddie The Head, Iron Maiden's universally recognisable mascot, Derek Riggs holds a special place in the hearts of rock and metal fans around the globe. Creating the cover art for the band exclusively for their first decade, his images we

Apparently, Derek isn't a fan of the idea for NPFTD cover.

Maybe the band should have asked him for an idea and then made a song about it, since they ran out of ideas. After SSOASS, maybe something spiritual (theme for Maiden's next album? why not) would have been a fitting continuation.
 
Dance Of Death Eddie from LOTB game would make a great cover for the album (even without details) - we only need a red background.

Edit: they should have fixed the original cover for the 2015 remaster of the album (like they did with NPFTD). No CGI, although it's authentic for the era.

Another great idea for the DOD cover would be something like the Somewhere Far Beyond cover - a dark forest with undead creatures (around it) and Eddie in the middle with the dancing figures from the original cover around him (in some carnival costumes, I guess) in a circle of fire.
 
Yeah, it belongs to the Beast on the Road tour 82. It appears on the Tour program. And Maybe some t-shirt of that period. But that it seems like that brand has stole the artwork.
