Tom of Finland / Dian Hanson / Eric Kroll - The Complete Kake Comics , The New Erotic Photography, LOT - 2015

Description

In 1965, Tom of Finland began developing the idea of an ongoing character for his panel stories, contemplating the ultimate Tom's Man. He experimented with a blonde named Vicky—a common male name in Finland—followed by a Tarzan-inspired Jack. In 1968, Tom chose Kake, a dark-haired, mustached leather man who often wore a tight white T-shirt with the motto 'Fucker.' Kake lived up to that nickname, embodying a kind of post-Stonewall, hyper-masculine Johnny Appleseed who traveled around the world on his motorcycle to spread the seeds of liberated, mutually satisfying, ecstatically explicit gay sex. Tom expressed many of his most personal fantasies through Kake, and Kake's international fans made him a prototype for what became known as the gay clone look of the 1970s. Between 1968 and 1986, Tom published 26 episodes of Kake adventures, mostly as 20-page booklets.

Tom of Finland - The Complete Kake Comics collects all these stories in one volume. Return with Kake to the days when men were men, sex was carefree, and everyone wore a big, thick mustache.
