I've immediately thought about the same record too..

its not that record, i have that one

I looked on allmusic, and, rather amazingly, they list no bands at all with the word "comic" in their name.

so did i

fuck, maybe its not comic.
i wish i would have been sober.
argh.

well, the dude sounds exactly like jim morrison...

I think you mean 'cosmic' and not comic.

man i was way off

this is the album
The Phantom's: Divine Comedy

You might have heard "COMET". There's a psychadelic band called "Comets on Fire" and are signed to Sub Pop.

never heard of, worth checkin out???

but yeah dude, that Phantoms album is fucking DOPE

Looks cool, like some old private-press project.
I don't know that I've heard of that one before.
What year is it from?

1974

Though he sounds more like Tom Jones fronting some fuzz-rock than he does J. Morrision to me.

!?!?!?
Hahaha, i guess

im going to look to see if they have any tunes on myspace
the first song is fucking killer

In 1974 Capitol Records released an album called "Phantom's Divine Comedy Part I" by Phantom's Divine Comedy. Before
longplay, the company issued SP"Calm before the storm/Black Magic, WhiteMagic" (No. 3857; promo-disc with white label
and serial-disc with orange label). Music from the album sounded like The Doors. And the lead vocalist really sounded like Jim
Morrison. The cover of record was printed with informations that in group played drummer X, bassist Y, keyboardist Z and
singer Phantom. Officially, the Lizard King died on 03.07.1971 in Paris. But circumstances of his death were mysterious and quite
strange. Some of the journalists suggested in their writings that Morrison had in fact no died and he returned with a new band.
Capitol Records kept silent while revenue came in from the album. It was leading to legal action by Electra Records, parent -
company of the Doors. The album and the group vanished without a trace.Officially nobody knew really musicians name by many
years. Vernon Joyson in "The Tapestry of Delight" wrote that Phantom's Divine Comedy was the same group called Phantom
(aka Walpurgies) which recorded other album called "The Lost Album" (bootleg: Flash 49 and CD by Ghost in 1990) with
line-up:
Tom Carson-voc, Denis Craner-bg, Gary Meisner - g, Mike DeMartino-keyboard, John Badanjeck-dr (ex-Detroit Wheels).
