Overview

In 1995 Something Weird Video released filmmaker (and former Fantagraphics cartoonist) John Michael McCarthy's Elvis-obsessed autobiographical bump and grind Super 8 cinematic oddity Teenage Tupelo, and co-produced by exploitation king David F. Friedman (She Freak, 2000 Maniacs). Memphis instrumental combo Impala provided the scintillating score set to the swaying rhythms of starlet D'Lana Tunnell who plays McCarthy's mother. The music was produced by legendary Sun records-era Roland Janes and released on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label. Almost thirty years later, this obscure little cult film continues to be remembered. Now Fantagraphics Books unleashes a mammoth volume dedicated to one of the last underground sexploitation films of the 20th century: a nudie cutie time capsule of art, essays, and reviews, along with photos of the beautiful starlets who appeared in Teenage Tupelo.

Author Information

Tupelo-born filmmaker John Michael McCarthy's first no-budget feature film was based on his one-off comic from a Fantagraphics imprint, Damselvis, Daughter Of Helvis (1994). Three decades later, he squares the circle with this lavish coffee-table tie-in to his second feature, Teenage Tupelo (1995). McCarthy's other films include The Sore Losers (1997), Superstarlet A.D. (2000), and Destroy Memphis (2016).
