Bruce Dickinson on the cover of Metal Hammer.

The new issue of Metal Hammer features Bruce Dickinson on the cover, as the Iron Maiden legend releases The Mandrake Project – a new solo album accompanied by an epic comic series.

Inside the magazine, we fly to Brazil for a comic convention, where Bruce reveals the secrets behind The Mandrake Project. Two decades in the making, and collectively featuring necromancy, dead twins, bored vampires and sex magic, it’s his most ambitious solo project yet.
