Back in Time, shows the cyborg Eddie (from Somewhere in Time) erupting from the Powerslave statue. The Final Frontier, drawn by Melvyn Grant, shows Eddie as an Extraterrestrial retrieving a key from a space ship. The artwork confused many fans claiming that it was not Eddie. Melvyn Grant himself has distanced this new monster from previous Eddie incarnations, stating that it "is not Eddie, as such," although the band members state that it is. The "El Dorado" and "The Final Frontier" radio promo covers, featuring Grant's new Eddie in a comic book sleeve, were created by Anthony Dry. From Fear to Eternity, created by Melvyn Grant, shows three different incarnations: the Wicker Man Eddie from the "Wicker Man" single, the tank-riding Eddie from the A Matter of Life and Death album cover and a cross between the Dance of Death, Fear of the Dark and The Final Frontier Eddies. The Book of Souls, created by Mark Wilkinson. This Eddie draws inspiration from Maya civilisation, wearing facepaint and earspools similar to those of the Mesoamerican people. Senjutsu, also created by Mark Wilkinson, depicts Eddie as a samurai from feudal Japan based on an idea from Steve Harris. Samurai Eddie made his first appearance in the animated video for the first single from the album, "The Writing on the Wall", released four days prior to the announcement of Senjutsu on 15 July 2021.
