704 S. Gebrauchtes Exemplar in sehr gutem Zustand. KEINE Eintragungen/Markierungen. Im Jahr 1965 hatte Tom of Finland die Idee, einen immer wiederkehrenden Charakter für seine Comicgeschichten zu entwickeln, den ultimativen Toms Man. Das Ergebnis seiner ersten Überlegungen war ein Blondschopf namens Vicky ein in Finnland recht verbreiteter männlicher Vorname. Später folgte eine von Tarzan inspirierte Figur, die Jack hieß. 1968 entschied sich Tom schließlich für Kake, einen dunkelhaarigen Ledermann mit Schnauzer, der häufig ein hautenges weißes T-Shirt trug, auf dem sein Motto Fucker zu lesen war. Und so fuhr Kake wie ein hypermännlicher Missionar der Post-Stonewall-Ära auf seinem Motorrad in der Gegend umher und trug das Bild vom freien, befriedigenden und ekstatischen Schwulensex in die Welt hinaus. Tom lebte viele seiner eigenen Fantasien in dieser Figur des Kake aus, und so wurde sie für viele Fans zum Sinnbild all dessen, was wir heute gemeinhin als Gay Clone Look der 1970er-Jahre bezeichnen.Zwischen 1968 und 1986 veröffentlichte Tom insgesamt 26 Folgen von Kakes Abenteuern, von denen die meisten als 20-seitige Heftchen auf den Markt kamen. Tom of Finland The Complete Kake Comics versammelt alle 26 Einzelgeschichten in einer Ausgabe und bringt uns die Zeit wieder näher, als Männer noch richtige Kerle, Sex sorgenfrei und ein großer, dicker Schnauzbart ein absolutes Muss waren.Über die ReiheBibliotheca Universalis Kompakte kulturelle Begleiter zur Feier des eklektischen TASCHEN-Universums! - Wir versenden aus unserem deutschen Lager heraus in plastikfreien oder wiederverwendeten Polstertaschen.

In 1965, Tom of Finland began flirting with the idea of an ongoing character for his panel stories, the ultimate Tom’s Man. He tried out a blond named Vicky―a common male name in Finland―followed by a Tarzan-inspired Jack. Then in 1968 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 to spread 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 1970s. Between 1968 and 1986, Tom published 26 episodes of Kake adventures, most as 20-page booklets.
Tom of Finland – The Complete Kake Comics collects 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.

About the Author
Touko Laaksonen, the boy who would become Tom of Finland (1920-1991), began drawing cartoons at age five. His favorite subjects were the rough manly men of his native Finland, as Touko knew from an early age that men interested him more than women. His talents were further honed by art study in Helsinki. He found success in the Finnish advertising industry but secretly continued creating his increasingly erotic drawings of hyper-masculine men. In 1957 he submitted some drawings to the American magazine Physique Pictorial and the “Tom of Finland” legend was born. By the late 60s Tom’s “dirty drawings” became the standard for gay art, and Tom’s Men a template for a new gay masculinity. Tom’s art continues to play an important role in promoting self-confidence, positive self-image and openness in the gay community.
