Derek Riggs would continue to draw all of Iron maiden's album and single covers until 1992. The ' Running Free' single cover had Eddie the Head as a silhouette so not to spoil the first album's cover before release. The band approved of the artwork, but requested that the character was given hair. The art piece featured a zombie character near a yellow, light-emitting street lamp at night, with detailed clouds and a bright moon.

As a result of Iron Maiden disapproving of Riggs' fantasy artwork, the artist submitted an artwork that was originally intended for a punk rock album. Many artists turned up with fantasy artworks, including Derek Riggs. In 1980, Iron Maiden was due to release their first studio album and were looking for an artist to draw the cover. The face was known as 'Eddie the Head' by the band's members. The band had a menacing face next to the band's logo on live stages. During the 1970s, the young Iron Maiden was undergoing many lineup and layout changes.
