    </tr>      </table> Is this the artwork for the first Maiden single, "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg"? Looks authentic enough to me but official sources are hard to find (click on the thumbnail for a bigger image). None the less, you can pre-order the single now from amazon.co.uk by [clicking here](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=maidenfanscom-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB000GYHZDA%3Fv%3Dglance%26n%3D229816).

straightforward like NPFTD cover, but atmospherical as Fear Of The Dark cover. in fact it immediately reminded me of those two. I wish there were more LAD taste in it.

Finally they are back!
First the album cover and then this!
Their best covers since SSOASS (ok...virtual xi and the clansman are exceptions).

retrospection in the gold past! I LOVE all their studio ,live albums or single releases and of course most of their artworks,but this one takes me back to "no prayer... " and "fear of..." artworks.I agree with all of you.GREAT ARTWORK.nothing to do but waiting for the single and of course the album!(TSALA FROM GREECE)

WOW! Amazing cover, it reminds me golden eddie's year like Live after death or Killers, and the moon is like from Fear. This cover is what I wanted to see on maiden albums!!
I hope that they never come back to pc-graphic :)

Definately the best single cover in a loooong time. Maiden really seem to be upping the quality in all areas of output. It's like the 80's again!
