• The 80s Maiden covers Piece of Mind through Seventh Son of a Seventh Son seemed to have a continuity of their own. Most noticeably traces of his lobotomy from Piece are featured in every cover from this period. Eddie's cyborg eye (from the Powerslave-era single 2 Minutes to Midnight) also appeared on the covers of Somewhere in Time, Raising Hell and Seventh Son. Some of his cybernetic parts from Somewhere in Time remain on Seventh Son but obviously Eddie's somewhat odd decomposition makes this link less clear. This continuity ceased for unknown reasons after No Prayer for the Dying (though Eddie's non-zombie appearance on Fear of the Dark may have been a reason for the change) and has since been largely abandoned. Regardless, traces of the lobotomy still appeared in some artwork associated with the album. Indeed, the cover for The X Factor and associated artwork is about the operation that caused this change to Eddie.
• Hugh Syme made the Eddie puppet seen on the cover of The X Factor. Since the puppet actually exists in physical form it produces a more realistic and gruesome image than the previous covers which had all been oil-paintings.
• Another recurring character in Maiden cover artwork in the early 80s was Riggs' depiction of the Devil, who premiered on the single "Purgatory". Eddie battles him on the single cover of "Run to the Hills" and displays his decapitated head on the cover of "The Number of the Beast" single.
• The CGI Eddie, featured in the late 90s music video "The Angel and the Gambler" as well as in the Ed Hunter computer game appears to be based on the Eddie from Piece of Mind, being bald, showing signs of lobotomy and having the restraint collar with a broken piece of chain hanging from it. This Eddie also has a strange scar on his chest and appears slightly more muscular than other previous Eddies.
• Eddie's image from the The Trooper single cover is depicted in several Ulster Loyalist murals across Northern Ireland.

• Eddie was also featured in the tv show South Park in the Imaginationland Episode III. He is seen briefly at almost 8 minutes in next to Optimus Prime ( He apears as he does on the cover of The Number of the Beast). It is not certain however which side he fights on, as it is suggested sometimes that he is not evil.
