Iron Maiden: The Official Coloring Book

Product Information

The visually striking, ancient Egyptian themed cover for Iron Maiden's fifth album in 1984 saw Eddie morph into a giant stone Pharoah. Choose your colors, crank the music LOUD and enjoy this unique coloring book from one of the greatest bands of all-time! Samuel Blanco was born in Caracas, Venezuela and studied graphic design and illustration in the Instituto de Diseño Perera and Haustags Centro de Diseño y Artes Visuales. The Derek Riggs designed cover for the 2008 early career retrospective sees two of his finest Eddie creations combine in style – the laser gun wielding futuristic cyborg Eddie erupts volcano-like out of the Pharaoh Eddie monument. The 2013 reissue of the classic Iron Maiden live video ditched the motorbike-straddling, leather-clad classic Eddie on the original cover in favour of The Trooper era Eddie jumping through the air on horseback.

Fans who purchase in advance will receive an IRON MAIDEN limited-edition decorative cereal box with their book. The memorable sleeve of June 1981's 'Purgatory' sees Lucifer's face melt away to reveal Eddie's face beneath. Devised and created by two lifelong rock and heavy metal devotees and colouring book fans, Rock N' Roll Colouring was formed by fans for fans. This version of Eddie was highly divisive amongst fans due to its stark difference to previous incarnations – some even speculated that it wasn't the mascot at all. 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.Sign up below to get the latest from Metal Hammer, plus exclusive special offers, direct to your inbox!

Official Iron Maiden Coloring Book Coming This Christmas Official Iron Maiden Coloring Book Coming This Christmas

Collectively, coloring books for metal bands aren'tunheard of — in the recent past, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Megadeth, Thin Lizzy and others have had official coloring books released of their artwork. The Tenacious D coloring book is also a great gift for anyone who loves music, comedy, or just appreciates awesome art. An iconic image of Eddie holding Satan like a puppet and Satan clutching an even smaller Eddie, it was all too predictably condemned by staunch Christians in America. This stunning colouring book features 25 classic album designs and iconic images from their monumental career printed in a square format on high grade 140gsm paper with one image per page.A song about a number of political scandals that erupted in the late eighties and early nineties, the cover sees Eddie strangle a cut-out of Robert Maxwell – the man at the centre of a huge banking scandal at the time. An image that draws parallels with those great surrealists Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali, the bodiless, floating Eddie holding his innards (which entomb a baby Eddie) while his head burns directly contrasts to the still and serene polar landscape. The first non-wraparound cover since 1983's 'Peace of Mind' sees Eddie emerging from a grave once again – this time clawing at an unfortunate undertaker's neck. Iron Maiden: The Official Coloring Book is a mega-coloring book with 72 pages of spectacular art — a celebration of IRON MAIDEN from every possible angle drawn by the award-winning Fantoons Animation Studio.
