Tom of Finland: The Complete Kake Comics brings together every adventure of one of the most influential characters in queer erotic art. Created by legendary artist Tom of Finland, Kake became an iconic figure of leather culture and hyper-masculine aesthetics.
First appearing in 1968, Kake is portrayed as a confident, mustached motorcyclist who travels the world embodying freedom, sexuality, and bold masculine style. Across 26 comic episodes, Tom of Finland expressed many of his own fantasies and helped shape what later became known as the gay “clone” look of the 1970s.
This 704-page hardcover volume, edited by Dian Hanson, collects all Kake stories originally published between 1968 and 1986. It stands as an important historical archive of queer art, underground comics, and erotic illustration that influenced generations of artists and LGBTQ culture.
