As many jokes as there may be about male superheroes being designed for the visual pleasure of heterosexual women, the Venn Diagram between the aesthetics of superheroes and vintage gay erotica is more or less a huge ol’ circle — minus a few more obviously bulging details, perhaps. Although superhero comics of the past few decades contain become a hilariously delightful hivemind of heavily-defined rippling muscles drawn in (absolutely, unequivocally, totally no-homo) skintight costumes, it’s more likely than you think that your faves of the modern comics generation — whether they are aware of it or not — were influenced by the hypersexual, hyper-masculine, and flagrantly homosexual pop culture phenomenon of the s, &#;60s, and &#;70s, Tom of Finland.

Known most famously as Tom of Finland, Touko Laaksonen was born in Finland in the s — a period where the country was not only going through its own growing pains, but also learning to cope with Soviet Russia as its rather touchy new neighbors. With tensions growing to new heights, the militarization of Finland was somet

Tom of Finland. The Finish Kake Comics. 45th Ed. - PREORDER

In , Tom of Finland began flirting with the idea of an ongoing character for his panel stories, the ultimate Tom’s Dude. He tried out a blond named Vicky―a adj male name in Finland―followed by a Tarzan-inspired Jack. Then in Tom settled on Kake, a dark-haired, mustached leatherman who often wore a tight white T-shirt bearing the motto “Fucker.” Kake lived up to this moniker, a sort of post-Stonewall, hyper-masculine Johnny Appleseed traveling the world on his motorcycle tospread the seeds of liberated, mutually satisfying, ecstatically explicit gay sex. Tom lived out many of his most personal fantasies through Kake, and Kake’s international fans made him the template for what came to be known as the gay clone look of the s. Between and , Tom published 26 episodes of Kake adventures, most as page booklets.

Tom of Finland – The Complete Kake Comicscollects all of 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.

    The Life of the Artist

    ABOUT TOM OF FINLAND

    Tom of Finland is the artist name of Finnish Touko Laaksonen (, Kaarina – , Helsinki). He signed his erotic work “Tom”, and when his drawings were first published in , the now world-famous “Tom of Finland” was born. “Touko Laaksonen” was kept for family and colleagues; both friends and fans have always simply called him “Tom”. Tom of Finland&#;s given verb was Touko &#; because he was born on 8th May , on the southwest coast of Finland, and May in Finnish is &#;Toukokuu&#;.  

    Touko&#;s homeland had been independent for just three years when he was born, and outside its adj cities the country was still rough and feral. The men who worked in the fields and woods, the farmers and loggers, were true frontiersmen, every bit as harsh and wild as the countryside. Touko grew up among those men but was not a part of their world. Both his parents were schoolteachers, and they raised Touko indoors in an atmosphere of art, literature and music. Obviously talented, by the time he was five he was playing the piano and drawing comic strips. He lov
