Im Jahr 1965 entwickelte Tom of Finland einen wiederkehrenden Charakter für seine Comicgeschichten, den ultimativen „Tom’s Man“. Zunächst entstand Vicky, gefolgt von einer Tarzan-inspirierten Figur namens Jack. 1968 wählte Tom schließlich Kake, einen dunkelhaarigen Ledermann mit Schnauzer, der oft ein hautenges weißes T-Shirt mit dem Motto „Fucker“ trug. Kake verkörperte einen hypermännlichen Missionar der Post-Stonewall-Ära, der auf seinem Motorrad umherfuhr und das Bild von freiem, befriedigendem und ekstatischem Schwulensex in die Welt trug. Tom lebte viele seiner Fantasien durch Kake aus, wodurch dieser zum Sinnbild des „Gay Clone Look“ der 1970er-Jahre wurde. Zwischen 1968 und 1986 veröffentlichte Tom insgesamt 26 Folgen von Kakes Abenteuern, die meisten als 20-seitige Heftchen. Die Sammlung versammelt alle 26 Einzelgeschichten und bringt uns zurück zu einer Zeit, in der Männer noch richtige Kerle waren, Sex sorglos war und ein dicker Schnauzbart ein absolutes Muss darstellte.

The definitive annotated and illustrated history of girlie periodicals (1958-1967) Volume III begins with an explosion of new American men's magazines following the redefinition of US obscenity laws in the late fifties. We examine the enormous impact of Playboy, not only on American titles, but on magazines worldwide. This is the decade when France finally declines as a great force in magazine production; England starts to show her pervy side; Argentina embraces burlesque; and Germany once again blends political activism with nudity. By 1965 even Australia has a booming men's magazine industry. The volume ends with a look at those great back-of-the-magazine ads for party pills and the first inflatable ?dates?. The History of Men's Magazines, Volume III contains over 400 full color pages of vintage covers and interiors and a well-researched text profiling quirky publishers and artists, individual magazines, and the place of it all in the Swinging Sixties culture.

Fantasy art, that colorful blend of myth, muscle and sexy maidens, took off in 1923 with the launch of Weird Tales magazine, was reinvigorated in the 1960s with The Lord of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian paperbacks with Frank Frazetta covers, and the late '60s emergence of fantasy psychedelia. It went big in the '70s with the role-playing game…

Volume 6 - 1970s Under the Counter contains 460 color pages of covers and magazine interiors and 18 chapters of information-rich text. Together with Volume 5 it forms a complete overview of men's magazine publishing of the 1970s. With Volumes 1 through 4, these two books complete the six-volume set of Dian Hanson's - 'The History of Men's Magazines.'

The definitive annotated and illustrated history of girlie periodicals (1958-1967) Volume IV concentrates on the emergence of California's specialty magazine industry and how it spawned the state's multi-billion dollar sex industry of today, but also includes fetish master Irving Klaw, the specialty magazines of England, and concludes with Sweden and Denmark's emergence as the new powers in European publishing. Together with Volume III, Volume IV gives a complete picture of this fascinating decade of rapid social change, but also stands on its own, covering a distinctly different, more risqu? side of 1960s men's magazine publishing. Volume IV contains over 400 full color pages of magazine covers and interiors with well-researched text profiling important publishers and artists, individual magazines, and specialty magazine categories. This hardcover volume is an instant collectable and is vital to completion of Dian Hanson?s: The History of Men's Magazines six-volume set.

The first Ed Fox title, "Glamour From the Ground Up," introduced the heir to the peculiar photographic niche long ruled by the great Elmer Batters. "Ed Fox, Vol. 2" comes with a 60-minute original DVD, bringing the still photos to vibrant life.
