Derek Riggs is the Iron Maiden album cover artist and creator of their iconic character Eddie.

He hasn't been seen on Heavy Metal Magazine for over thirty-five years, since February 1979.

But in December, his work will appear on the cover of Heavy Metal Magazine #285.

And we can compare the two… from 2016.
