You know that thing when you turn a corner at a convention and see the booth display of a favorite artist? This happened to Richard at Phoenix Comicon and that artist was Derek Riggs! “Hmmm, that’s the guy who did all the best Iron Maiden album covers” you might be thinking. Yes, and not only that, Derek actually created Eddie, the monster from said covers. He was originally called “Electric Matthew” and had quite a different hairdo! Listen to this bonus episode and find out what famous recording studio Derek had good fortune to visit. You’ll also hear about times when Derek was kicked out of places by people who’d later regret it. You’ll find out that heavy metal albums weren’t Derek’s first covers. You could also buy his book, “Run For Cover - The Art Of Derek Riggs”, which we encourage! So, call him brilliant, call him wildly creative, but don’t call Derek Riggs “Dr. Death”! #horror #horrormovies #horrornerd #horroraddict #horrorjunkie #monsterkid #bmovie #scarymovies #monstermovie #podcast #chewingthescenery #zombies #zombie #VHS #moviemonsters #freepodcast #denver #colorado #uptheirons #albumcovers #recordcovers #vinyl #nwobhm #eddietheed #albumcoverart #heavymetalart #ironmaiden #runtothehills #derekriggs #phoenixcomicon #comicon #phoenixcomicon2017
