As a boy, Tom's first crush was a strapping young farmhand who
worked the fields around his family home. Finland is a land of
tough physical men, catching fish in the icy sea; cutting logs in
the endless forests; threshing oats, rye, and barley on the farms.
Tom, a more sensitive boy, admired these rough men and their
distinctive clothing, designed for protection and utility. He later
said, "When I was young, leather was worn by people who worked
outside because it was warm. All the men who wore leather, they
were the type of men which I adored." When he began to draw he
celebrated these early idols, improving their wardrobes with tight
jeans, faded T-shirts, and thigh-high beak-toed Lappish boots. It
was a young logger in this gear who appeared on the spring 1957
cover of Physique Pictorial, introducing Tom to the world. In the
decades to follow Tom added truckers, repairmen, construction
workers, circus roustabouts, and the American cowboy to his roster
of working-class heroes. Though just sexual fantasies for him, his
portrayal of blue-collar lovers helped working class gays accept
their true selves. The Little Book of Tom: Blue Collar traces Tom's
fascination with working men in one compact and affordable package.
A brawny lineup of multi-panel comics and single-panel drawings and
paintings is set alongside archival and contextual material,
including historic film stills and posters, personal photos of Tom,
sketches, and Tom's own reference photos.
