Derek
Riggs trademark symbol is something like the following. It seems
to be his initials...a (mirrored) D, and the R on the right-hand side.
Or something like that!

through the center of the cemetery. There's a tombstone in the middle
back there with his symbol on it. Did you notice that another tombstone
behind the cat and the red rose has 'Here Lies Derek Riggs'? This

Note:
The Fear Of The Dark illustration was not done by Derek Riggs. According
to page 15 of the CD booklet: "Illustration: Melvyn Grant".
I don't know if Melvyn Grant is a total unknown, or if he has done other
work or not... (According to an interview with Bruce Dickinson on
MTV shortly after FEAR OF THE DARK was released, they picked three different
artists to do a cover for the album, and they would pick the best one out
of the three submitted. He went on to state that Derek would still
be involved with future artwork and that he wasn't fired or anything).
