"On the other hand shirted Golden Age women often did "
I noticed one of the early Phantom Lady comics with what should have been a serious wardrobe malfunction by the artist had been covered up by the colorist.
Her outfits often skated on the edge of decency even by today's standards. Futura's top in the early stories was also an accident waiting to happen.

It's a well-known fact that velcro was invented to keep Golden Age costumes decent :>

The Puppeteer - has a flag, 'CaptainAmerica-ish "  costume. But. He calls himself the Puppeteer, and he is a puppeteer in his secret identity. Umm, What!?
This is 'throw it against the wall and see if any of it sticks' stuff. But I find it  quite entertaining.

Alan Dale transforms himself into the Puppeteer by playing the first notes of Beethoven's fifth on the giant organ. Last appearance in All Top Comics #1 (one-shot) as Captain V. Next appearance in All Your Comics #1 (first one-shot). Alec Hope is a by-line that appeared on art by Hollingsworth. Art credits courtesy of the Who's Who.

So we have, 'All Great,All Good, All Top and All your Comics'
There are also, ' Book Of All-Comics pt.1 | Book Of All-Comics pt.2 | Book Of All-Comics pt.3 | Book of Comics 1' which are filed here under one-shots, and some of which have stories featuring this character.
Does anybody know where the origin of 'The Puppeteeer' was? I think he later became VMan (for Victory). 
I'll comment on the content of the book some other time down the track when I've had time to read it all.

So today is the first day off I've had since lockdown ended in my country. Based on this post I found "The Puppeteer" and had a read. It's everything I like about Golden Age comics: somehow innocent yet politically incorrect, cheesy yet entertaining and a few moments of escapism. I enjoyed it and I'll probably read more of this character. Thanks for the heads up.

PS I'm now moving on to a quick read "Western True Crime" that I found in the same section. I assume they are playing fast and loose with the word "true" but I do like western comics and films.

Yeah, for whatever reason, Fox was inclined to put out many of these big comic books that costed 25 cent, even 50 cents:

Has anyone dissected these giant comics to see if the stories are reprinted from regular Fox titles? If they're new material then Victor Fox must have figured the giants would sell. Fox was first and foremost a chiseler and a cheapskate. He never would have allowed so many stories to pile up in inventory without publishing them. But then, Fox was notorious for not paying his freelancers. Maybe these are all the stories he got for free!

The giant-sized comics from 1944 and 1945 are mostly material that didn
