May 1983's 'Piece of Mind' saw Eddie undergo a dramatic transformation into a deranged, lobotomised mental patient complete with shackles, straightjacket and padded room. Eddie first appeared on the single "Running Free" in 1980 and has had his zombie-liked face on every single one of Iron Maiden’s albums in some form or another ever since. The Derek Riggs artwork is based on a picture he created for Billboard Magazine of a giant Eddie smashing Capitol Records in Los Angeles to smithereens. We have a wide range of high quality and extremely cool Iron Maiden merch dedicated to the iconic British heavy metal band that no fan, either young or old, will be able to resist bringing into their life! Derek Rigg's created an animated Eddie head on a circuit board but our pick is Syme's proper scary version which adorned CD1 and CD2.

An absolutely phenomenal Mark Wilkinson illustration of Eddie mooning from the front seat of a truck. In keeping with the 2006 album's recurring theme of war and religion, Eddie is depicted as a skeletal soldier (just like on '2 Minutes to Midnight' and 'The Trooper') driving a tank through a desolate, war-torn landscape with his comrades. The two-decade spanning greatest hits collection is adorned with a Melvyn Grant painting that features three different Eddies from the 1990 to 2010 era – the grim reaper Eddie (2003's 'Dance of Death'), the tank driving army skeleton Eddie (2006's 'A Matter Of Life and Death') and the burning wicker man from the Brave New World single. Iron Maiden - Eddie's proper horrorshow face was finally unveiled when 'Iron Maiden' hit the shelves in April 1980. The undertaker Eddie is seen attacking or digging up the grave of the enigmatic subject of the song, Benjamin Breeg.Throw into the mix some Star Wars-esque creatures and yet more Maiden back referencing (the clock is at 2 Minutes To Midnight) and you're onto a winner.

A stark juxtaposition to the album, Maiden's timeless 1983 anthem 'The Trooper' aptly came with one of the most iconic realisations of Eddie ever. One depicts Eddie clutching Jessica Rabbit outside The Paradise Club (named after the TV show Bruce was acting in) while the other sees him play the grim reaper in a graveyard.

You’ll recognise his mug across our range of Iron Maiden gifts and merch, printed on t-shirts, shot glasses and more. Named after their legendary mascot, Iron Maiden's third compilation album from November 2002 boasts a very regal looking Eddie sitting on his rightful throne and flanked by fierce wolves. In May 1980, Eddie stoked up some controversy through his depiction on the 'Sanctuary' single cover. Smoking a cigar, clutching a machine gun and pointing directly at us mere mortals, Eddie looks defiant as an atomic bomb mushroom cloud erupts in the background.

A cheeky swipe at Led Zeppelin, on the 'Peace of Mind' lead single a winged Eddie has just torched Icarus with flamethrower.Eddie's decapitated, hovering head is part cyborg/part boiled egg while a corkscrew fist smashes through it clutching at the remnants of his brain. In essence, the device was like a standing sarcophagus with spikes lining the inner walls and the door, so when the victim was placed inside and the door closed, numerous spikes would pierce the flesh and vital organs. Warner Music’s SVP Commercial, Derek Allen, adds: “There are few bands in the world that can provide such a breadth of products that their fan base love and we’re delighted that Asda respect music enough to partner with us across several sectors.
