Phantom's Divine Comedy was an obscure band that recorded one album in 1974. The members of the band used pseudonyms "Phantom", "X", "Y" and "Z". As the voice of the singer Phantom sounded like Jim Morrison, there were rumors that he actually was Morrison who had faked his death. According to another rumor the singer was Iggy Pop. Later it has been said that the singer was actually called Ted Pearson or Tom Carson.

​

Seems like we have a mystery here.  Robscurities did a thorough internet investigation of this issue and have come to the conclusion that 'Phantom' was actually one of the following:

​

1.  A shape-shifting reptilian alien from The Alpha Draconis star system named Chester.

2.  D.B. Cooper, who was the unidentified man who successfully hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the northwest United States on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 24, 1971, and later decided to form a psychedelic 70's rock band.

3.  Peter Greenway, the dude who lives 2 houses away and steals our newspaper.

In October 2003 I received e-mail from GARY GAWINEK:
"Dear Piotr !
I wanted to tell you that all info about Phantom's DC are wrong.
Here s the real line-up:

PHANTOM'S DIVINE COMEDY

Arthur Pendragon - Vocals, Lead Guitar, Piano and writer of all the songs
James Rolland - Drums
Harold Breadly - Bass
Russ Klatt - Keyboard

Produced by Gary Gawinek and Punch Andrews. All band members and producers from Detroit Michigan area. Songs were never meant to be like the Doors, but Punch Andrews who is Bob Seger's and Kid Rocks Manager wanted and sold it that way to Capitol Records. Both Phantom'DC and Phantom (aka-Walpurgies) have most of the same players, but Walpurgies was done in a home studio and Phantom's  DC was record at Pampa Studio Warren Michigan and engineered by Jim Bureses who also recorded a few Bob Seger Lp's. I have  written to the other people who have Phantom sites, but you are the only one to respone. So you are the only one with the true story. I have been told that Arthur Pendragon has passed away (almost 5 year ago in March). Jim Rolland the drummer now lives in Lansing Mi and doesn't play music any longer. Russ Klatt owns an Art Gallery in Birmingham Mi and I don't know where Harold Beardly is. Punch Andrews never got along with Arthur Pendragon so when I brought demo tapes to Punch I didn't let him know it was Arthur until he said he wanted to record the music.  Hideout is the production company of ED "Punch "Andrews who is manager to Bob Seger and Kid Rock.. Also Phantom DC lp cover Art work done by Tom Weschler who did early Bob Seger records and is still in Photo and lives in Birmingham Mi.

Gary Gawinek cooperated with Hideout Records and "Punch" Andrews. He's always working in musical business.  He was A&R-man, producer, B.Seger's road manager. At present, he attempts own power as musician and producer (House of Ill Compute Recording).  His son, Christian Colin is guitarist.

Gary !

Thank you very much  for all informations which I got from you by electronic mail.
Many years ago, Phantom was singing: "Black Magic, White Magic...". Now we have a new
magic.
WEB'S MAGIC !
