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.

Review: An Upstanding Work of Fiction - Basically, this is a collection of cartoon pornography by one of the greatest exponents of the art. If you haven't heard of Tom of Finland, then this book is the best introduction to his work that's out there. It's a thick book (reference intended) that stands 8" high, and contains hundreds of drawings. Whilst some may claim to own this book as part of an art collection, the rest of look through this book with a different goal in mind, and this book really delivers. The drawings are clear, each given enough space to see all the detail and there's no censoring that I can detect. You might want to create a stand for this thick meaty book whilst you 'read' it, but a strong hand is enough to get a good grip. Highly recommended to all lovers of Tom's work. Review: Banned in the early 90s - I was amazed to find this book on sale here in the U.K. Because it was banned at one time for being too pornographic, what rubbish. If anyone knew the philosophy and retrospect of toms work, it's far from being stuff you would ban. I tried to import some of toms books from the USA in the early 90s but got a very strong letter from customs to say if I tried again I would be arrested! I wrote to toms foundation in America to tell them what had happened and they were outraged. They explained to me that the foundation were trying very hard to get other countries to allow toms work in. They also sent me lots of information on how I could lobby our parliament to help them understand the importance of toms work as heritage of a gay mans roots. It's amazing how the world accepts once its educated to realise there is no harm is present. I can't believe I have written this review either, again, the world comes to terms eventually and we get the freedom to speak out. Well done desertcart for stocking this book and many other books by Tom of Finland. Still, if you have it in your book case it's advisable to keep your eye on it and it's only read by adults, just like all other grown-up stuff!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 230 in Erotic Art (Books) 374 in Erotic Graphic Novels (Books) 441 in Human Figures in Art | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,317 Reviews | ## Images ![Tom of Finland: The Complete Kake Comics (Bibliotheca Universalis) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NYKnQDB0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Upstanding Work of Fiction *by J***E on 7 November 2014* Basically, this is a collection of cartoon pornography by one of the greatest exponents of the art.

It was the discovery of his drawings which confirmed to me that I was gay. In today's world they look somewhat OTT and very politically incorrect. At the time, they were a morale boosting affirmation of the right of gay men to be proud of their sexuality and to delight in its expression. The book shouts: yes, this is who we are, this is what we do and we rejoice in it. Even today, I doubt if any gay man can fail to be moved, roused and aroused by Tom's brilliant, explicit, triumphalist portrayal of gay men and gay sex. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tom of Finland: The Complete Kake Comics - Tom of Finland: Xxl - Dian Hanson: The Little Book of Tom of Finland; Cops & Robbers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/50190146-tom-of-finland-the-complete-kake-comics-bibliotheca-universalis](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/50190146-tom-of-finland-the-complete-kake-comics-bibliotheca-universalis) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
