40 years have passed since the release of PIECE OF MIND. More than an album, it was a thunderous statement of intent by a band whose meteoric rise from the East End of London would propel them to the world stage, thrusting them into the realms of legend. This commemorative tome, containing comics, art, and remembrances from acclaimed writers, artists, musicians and storytellers, is a powerful celebration of the unparalleled vision which inspired them -- the living legend that is IRON MAIDEN.

Bruce Dickinson, born on August 7, 1958, in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England, is best known as the lead vocalist of the legendary heavy metal band Iron Maiden. He joined the band in 1981, contributing to their rise as one of the most influential acts in heavy metal history.

Beyond his work with Iron Maiden, Dickinson has pursued a diverse range of interests. He is a licensed commercial pilot, author, and accomplished fencer. In 2014, he was diagnosed with throat cancer but made a full recovery after treatment.

In March 2024, Dickinson released "The Mandrake Project," his seventh solo studio album and first in nearly two decades since 2005's "Tyranny of Souls." The album was produced by Roy Z and showcases a blend of heavy and progressive metal elements. It was accompanied by a 12-issue comic book series, expanding on the album's narrative.

Dickinson continues to tour with Iron Maiden and engage in various personal projects, maintaining his status as a multifaceted and influential figure in the world of heavy metal and beyond.
