The Little Book of Tom: Blue Collar Discover the world of Tom of Finland's blue-collar heroes in this pocket-sized edition. Featuring a brawny lineup of multi-panel comics and single-panel drawings, as well as photographs and sketches, this compact book explores the tough physical types who fascinated Tom since his very first crush. Inspired by the rugged men he encountered in his native Finland, Tom's early idols included farmhands, fishermen, and loggers. He later expanded his roster to include truckers, repairmen, construction workers, circus roustabouts, and American cowboys. Though just sexual fantasies for him, his portrayal of blue-collar lovers helped working class gays accept their true selves. The Little Book of Tom: Blue Collar offers a comprehensive look at Tom's fascination with working men in one compact and affordable package. Featuring a bounty of multi-panel comics, single-panel drawings, paintings, photographs, sketches, archival material, historic film stills, posters, personal photos of Tom, and his own reference photos, this book is the ultimate tribute to Tom's enduring legacy.
