  Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Sargon the Sorcerer
Mystic and quite a few others, Sargon the Sorcerer was of the sub-sub-genre that wore a turban as part of the magician get-up.
Aside from illustrating hundreds of miscellaneous crime, war and mystery stories, Purcell was associated with several minor heroes, from co-creating The Gay Ghost and Lando, Man of Magic in the early 1940s, to drawing the last dozen or so Sea Devils stories in the mid '60s.
Sargon remained in All-American for a couple of years, but was never one of the featured players.

It's not that I mind the resurrection of Sargon the Sorceror, killed off by Moore; after all, dead comics characters come back to life all the time.
And it's not that I necessarily mind simple continuity errors (for instance John Constantine raising Alec Holland's body from the swamp, though the remains were in fact reburied by the Swamp Thing back in "The Burial"), though in fact such errors do niggle.

Johnathan is a Britishman by Birth and something of a legend among Sorcerors as he is reffered to as the "Gentleman" sorceror in such circles.

Oddly the only Celestial the "Gentleman Sorceror" has any sympathy for whatsoever is Hapitas herself whom he still is deeply and hopelessly in love with and would gladly go to whatever reward (or punishment) he is destined or fated for (or perhaps neither yet) for her.

In The Brave and the Bold, he was revealed to be - as both Wildcat and boxing champ Ted Grant - a friend of Batman.
Sargon the Sorceror and Zatara the Magician, like Wildcat, were also apparently older heroes on Earth-One, although they both were introduced with the likes of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman during the Golden Age.
