While Eddie may not be as well known as Mickey Mouse, he has gone through far more changes in his tenure. Eddie was first drawn by Derek Riggs, and Riggs continued drawing him until 1992. Other artists have had a hand in drawing Eddie, but none as memorable the art created by Riggs.   In the early 1980's, Iron Maiden was repeatedly accused of adding satanic "backward masted" messages in their albums. The 1982 album, Piece of Mind, did add a touch of comedy to the Christian right-wing accusations. In the song, Still Life, a backward masted message was recorded in the beginning of the track which consists of drummer Nicko McBrain impersonating Idi Amin Dada. None of the allegations were true about satanic messages, but the rumors persisted until the early 1990's. Today Christian fundamentalist groups still say the band is satanic, but are less vocal in their opposition.   If one wants to experience the historical and literary significance of their songs, one needs only listen to their albums, especially those of the early 1980's.
