My first thought is the winner of BEST ALBUM COVERS & winner of SWEETEST MASCOT.
I present Eddie, the Head.
My GOLLY, would ya look at that.
Above is a collage, or tribute to all of the Iron Maiden covers featuring Eddie in his various uniforms, or disguises, or date outfits.
Now I'm not a big Iron Maiden fan, if really at all. Well, just a little. Maybe I just need to hear more of their music. But I do respect the gods of metal. With that said, I've always noticed this character on the Iron Maiden albums. He's on, I think, all of them. And the artwork was also amazing, colorful, and just mind-blowing.
Here's some history on the Eddie character...
Eddie, whose full name is Eddie the 'Ead or Edward the Head also known as Edward the Great.
Eddie the head was born with no body, no arms, and no legs. All he had was a head. But despite this major birth defect, his parents still loved him very much. So on his sixteenth birthday, his parents found a doctor that could surgically give Eddie a body. When the parents got home, they couldn't wait to tell him that he could finally have a body and be like other normal people. When Eddie got there, they were really excited and said, "Have we got a surprise for you. It's the best present ever!" They showed him, and Eddie said, "Oh no, not another fuckin' hat!"
