Bad boy!

Key covers from each one:

H.R. Giger:

• Celtic Frost - "To Megatherion"

Luis Royo:

• Avalanch - "El Angel Caido"

Dwayne Barlowe:

• Armored Saint - "Revelations"

Brom:

• Destiny's End - "Transition"

Derek Riggs:

• Iron Maiden - "Powerslave" :Smug:

Roslav Szaybo:

• Judas Priest - "Hell Bent For Leather"

Jim Fitzpatrick:

• Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak"

Ed Repka:

• Megadeth - "Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?"

And I forgot the great Richard Corben:

• Heavens Gate - "Livin' In Hysteria'

I recommend Royo, Brom, Barlowe, Corben, Vallejo/Bell, Bisley, for artist to look for their art. On another level, De Berardinis, Serpieri, Altuna, Manara, Taylor, Manning.

And H.R. Giger is a must be!
