Book Reviews of Tom of Finland: The Complete Kake Comics (German, English and French Edition)
Book Review: One word: Tom of Finland
Summary: 5 Stars
He transforms a sexual inclination into a concrete visual image. Many of them together to express a cohesive whole. It is very erotic, and I think should be erotic for just about anyone... I'm biased. Compelling, inspired, and high quality work.Book Review: quite a complete collection
Summary: 5 Stars
Wish it were in its original release size and not thick digest form.
Otherwise a comprehensive collection of Tom's work.
Book Review: Nice book, great price!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's SO nice to finally have all of the Kake comics in one volume. For me, the size of the book is perfect - easy to hold and great artwork reproduction. The overall quality is great. I have been a fan of Tom of Finland for decades and really enjoy having so much of his work coming out in comprehensive volumes like this one. I highly recommend this book to anyone who, like me, is a fan of this art genre.Book Review: Great.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm happy with the comics thou the size is slightly smaller than i had expected it to be... really hope there would be a hardcover version as the corners could be easily bent if knocked against something...
I would recommend to buy it during a 3rd party seller price dip, which i did myself and for the price of $40+, i am happy with the purchase...
Book Review: Flawed, but interesting for collectors
Summary: 3 Stars
For openers, the material is well drawn and EXTREMELY exciting. This set of fantasies will set your fantasy engine on fire, and the printing is very nearly perfect with some breakup of electronically transmitted images seen as acute jaggies in the close-up pages. The paper is excellent; hi-clay art stock of sufficient weight to hold the large black areas without show-through.
Why only three stars? Two MAJOR flaws:
1) The book is too heavy and bulky to be held for easy (lustful) reading. The publisher would have done everyone a favor had each "Volume" been printed separately ( as in the originals) and then gathered into a single sleeve to show the "weight" of the publication. This may not bother collectors, but for those of us looking to resurrect years gone by, this volume is just too much for weakened old wrists.
2) The title is "The Complete Kake Comics". The collection --- isn't! "Beachboys", and what others are missing?
