classic Schomburg zeppelin cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)The Hindenburg Disaster was one of the defining events of the early 20th century, the image of the giant zeppelin burning up in mere moments was forever etched into the minds of anyone who witnessed the newsreel footage of the tragedy.
