Owner's Description
Issue #47 features the origin and first appearance of, the Melter, Bruno Horgan. Bruno Horgan was an American industrialist who specialized in the development of weaponry for the US government. He was driven into bankruptcy when a government safety inspection team proved that he was using inferior materials. His defense contracts were later awarded to his foremost competitor, Tony Stark. He later designed the Melting Ray a weapon that could melt any material.He went on to be a founding member of the Masters of Evil.
Issue #47 is a strange book, as while a 1963 9.8, it is not even tied for highest graded, as there is a 9.9 in the census, which is really unheard of with this early a book. Our book was tied with one other 9.8 in the census and still is, there is just this unseen 9.9 on top of both of them.
We acquired our 9.8 from the 2/11/2014 Pedigree Comics Auction.
