Here is a quartet of golden-age magic characters, arranged in order of ascending sartorial flamboyance:
The first is Doctor Occult. I could not find any actual minis of him, but since he's just a dude wearing a fedora and trenchcoat, I painted up a heroclix "Maggia Goon". He's definitely reaching for his mystic talisman, not a handgun.
Next is Zatara, golden-age father of the much more famous Zatanna. He's a heroclix Zatara, but fully repainted and with a bowtie I made from paper.
After him is Sargon the Sorceror, not to be confused with the ancient kings or fascist youtuber named Sargon. Another converted heroclix, the original model had an absurdly tiny head, so I replaced it with a plastic medieval Arab head from a historical kit.
Finally we have the Ancient One, washed and highlighted but not converted at all. The character was not invented until the 60s, but would have existed in the 30s, much like Howard Stark and Vandal Savage.
