Metal Week Continues: Awesome Pictures of Iron Maiden’s Eddie, Part 3

Holy shit! There is a cover where Eddie straight up murders Margaret Thatcher. I’m an obsessive collector of transgressive pop culture and I had never even heard of this until I started pulling together random images for this gallery. Some dude on Wikipedia wrote that it was supposed to be a lighthearted riff on how Thatcher was the “Iron Lady.” To paraphrase Norm Macdonald: I know I’m going to sound like a hypocrite here, but I think that murdering world leaders for the sake of a pun is wrong. Also, Maggie gets her revenge after the jump.
