The Tom Of Finland Bikers Pocket Edition is a compact hardcover celebration of the artist's most iconic subject, packing over 200 leather-clad riders into 192 richly illustrated pages. Illustrated by Tom of Finland and edited by Dian Hanson, this pocket-sized volume distills decades of hyper-masculine fantasy into a collectible format that fits neatly on any shelf.
Inspired by Marlon Brando's leather-clad turn in The Wild One, Tom of Finland abandoned brown leather in 1954 to create his own black-clad rebels with powerful engines between their legs. The look inspired the first gay outlaw motorcycle club that same year, turning his fantasy world into reality. Over time he customized his icons with leather jodhpurs, knee-high boots, and leather caps, branding every gas tank with his own name.
This edition traces the evolution of Tom's bikers from their debut in Physique Pictorial in 1958 to the creation of Kake, his ultimate biker-leatherman avatar, whose 26-panel riding adventures unfold across the pages. Expect earliest sketches, single drawings, and full panel stories throughout.
