Riggs, who designed the artwork for THE IRON MAIDENS' CD, recently published a book of his artwork, entitled "Run for Cover: The Art of Derek Riggs". It is presented as a 180-page, full-color, large-format, top-quality art book, sporting approximately 200 graphics, some unpublished, some unfinished, many pristine originals from the IRON MAIDEN vaults, thanks to the full cooperation of MAIDEN manager Rod Smallwood and his charges. In addition, Riggs has painted a stunning new Eddie to grace the cover. The book is offered in two formats: 1) trade paperback; and 2) hard cover, signed by Derek Riggs, individually numbered, limited to 1,500 copies.
