Skip to product information
The Complete Kake Comics by Tom of Finland is a multilingual edition featuring the complete adventures of Kake, Tom's dark-haired, mustached leatherman who traveled the world on his motorcycle to spread the seeds of ecstatically explicit gay sex. This collection includes 26 episodes of mustaches, muscles, and liberated libido, showcasing some of the most famous cartoons in the history of gay art.
In 1965, Tom of Finland began experimenting with 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, embodying a 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. The Complete Kake Comics collects all these stories in one volume, inviting you to return to the days when men were men, sex was carefree, and everyone wore a big thick mustache.
