Fandom beneath the spotlight

Set in the Sunset Strip music scene, *Groupies* centers women labeled “groupies” and draws on Helen Mullane’s research into the real people behind that label. The graphic novel begins with a night at the Fox Club, where a group of women meet the rising band the Moon Show just after its record deal. When they join the band on tour, the story turns toward the darker costs of the rock-and-roll world they had hoped to enter. Its feminist framing brings questions of gender, fandom, and power into a music-industry drama.

Book overview

A sexy, fem-focused look at the dark underside of music fandom, informed by Mullane's research on the real women labeled "groupies" and illustrated by one of the industry's top artists!

Celebrated filmmaker Helen Mullane teams up with superstar artist Tula Lotay for sex, drugs, and rock and roll on the Sunset Strip! On a wild night out at the Fox Club, the coolest, hottest, and wildest girls on (or off) the Strip meet the edgiest up-and-coming band in town, and sparks fly. The Moon Show's stardom is about to rise as they celebrate getting signed to the legendary Asmodeus Records. As the story unfolds, the excited groupies head on tour with the band - living the dream - but their tuned-in and dropped-out idyll is about to unravel. Something dark is pulling the strings, and the girls are about to discover the true cost of rock and roll.
