	Eddie the Head - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the band was looking through potential artwork for their first album, they came across the artwork by Derek Riggs that would eventually become the artwork for the self-titled album.
		The artwork for the second album, Killers, was also an original Riggs painting before he started creating bespoke album covers from The Number of the Beast onwards.
		Derek Riggs claimed, in the Maiden documentary 12 Wasted Years, that the design for Eddie the cartoon was based on a graphic he saw on the news, painted on the side of a Vietnamese tank.

	Derek Riggs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Derek Riggs is a British artist best known for creating the heavy metal band Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie.
		He is also well known for working with the heavy metal band Gamma Ray.
		Quite by accident, the original character "electric Matthew" was a painting Riggs did in symbolization of the rebelious punk movement of the early 1980's in the United Kingdom.

	Eye of the Tiger!!
		Riggs: There are a lot of people in the NEW who feel that because of your lack of cooperation with the NEW over the past few weeks that you should have been replaced in tonight's main event.
		Derek reverses it back, only to be reversed again by Kriss, but while Kriss is reversing, Derek grabs his hair and yanks him down to the mat.
		Derek lifts Kriss and whips him to the ropes, Kriss hops on the second ropes and goes for a springboard moonsault, but Derek catches him and attempts a running powerslam, but Kriss counters and hits a hurricaranna that sends Derek flying to the outside.

		Riggs designed a body and the full Eddie character was seen.
		Thing did improve though for 'The Best Of The Beast' cover, which was designed by Derek Riggs and features many pictures of the Eddie seen on album covers over the years.

		I don't think that Riggs was so uncreative at that point of time that he needed to steal cover artwork.
		Derek is a great artist and this comparison doesn't diminish his talent.
		Probably Derek used it as an inspiration (as it obviously is on the E, L and P cover).

	Comic Book Resources Forums - Jules and Vincent versus Riggs and Murtaugh
		Riggs and Jules are off battling and Jules pounds on Riggs, and Riggs has to use the dislocated shoulder trick to fool Jules into thinking he's incapacitated on that arm.
		Riggs, seeing that Murtaugh is downed, goes into his crazy man act, but he's already tired too.
		Riggs is a weapon of Mass Destruction by himself, let alone with backup (and you know that when Murtaugh starts twirling his neck, all hell is gonna break loose);

	Eddie's tale
		But all Eddie still was, was a head on the stage, until the group met Derek Riggs (through Rod Smallwood, their manager), he designed the long awaited body for Eddie.
		It seems as if Maiden was getting dissapointed with the Eddies the way Derek started to draw them, for the sleeve of Fear Of The Dark was drawn by a different artist (Melvyn Grant) and the ones which were drawn by Derek were rather ugly.
		So this is the current state of the art, it still remains to be seen what will happen in the future, Derek seems to be on his way back, but he's not there yet.

		After a fight between Iron Maiden's management and longtime Maiden-artist Derek Riggs, it was very clear that Riggs would never make another Iron Maiden cover again.
		This is a terrible shame since Riggs has designed ALL the great Iron Maiden covers (with the only exception of Fear Of The Dark, X-Factor and Virtual XI).
		The absence of Derek Riggs' contribution on Dance Of Death, left the Maiden fan's wondering how the new cover would look like.

	Iron Maiden test strength of heavy metal - THE DAILY BRUIN ONLINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		After creating the character Eddie T. Head, supplying the cover art for Iron Maiden's first eight albums and providing countless other illustrations, Riggs seemed as indispensable to the band as the musicians themselves.
		But in 1992, the work of another artist graced the cover of the album "Fear of the Dark." And on "The X Factor," Riggs' characteristic work is again missing from the cover.
		Harris explains that the relationship is just fine, but Riggs is now pursuing his own music career and Iron Maiden simply wanted to find fresh ideas and new artists.

		We met him at Wacken last year and he showed us some of his work and we said well, that's very cool.
		Derek became much more involved in computer work and he was getting tired of drawing faces in the sky, right?

	Iron Maiden - Death On The Road CD/DVD Artwork
		Derek still does a lot of cover art work, however he works almost purely digitally now.
		And for those of you wondering why Derek Riggs no longer does the covers for Maiden, it's due to a dispute between him and the band resulting in him deciding to never do another picture for Maiden again.
		His last work for the band was art for "The Wicker Man" which was rejected, although the Eddie in the clouds was reused for the cover of "Brave New World".

	Eric Brown - Dominic E. Harman - Examples of his illustrations
		I was influenced from an early age by the works of Derek Riggs, who designed the album covers of the British rock band, Iron Maiden.
		The band had a mascot called Eddie (a zombie-type looking guy), and in one memorable cover Riggs depicted him as a part-cyborg part-zombie in a futuristic style city.
		His later paintings, which to me were the most inspiring, were more surreal and science-fictional than his early horror covers.
