Having seen the title of the thread and before actually opening it, my first thoughts were "well it's got to be something by Iron Maiden, surely".

Jamie Reid did some cracking work for the Sex Pistols. Both singles and album cover are pretty iconic.

My favourite studio album of all time, and my favourite album cover of all time.  I had so much fun finding all the Easter Eggs in the hieroglyphics.

I am bookmarking this thread to refer to next time the forum tears the 2000AD designers to shreds.
