Dom Orejudos a.ka. Etienne or Stephen started making gay-male erotica in the 50s. Most of which were collaborative efforts with the iconic “Tom of Finland”. Orejudos did mostly leather inspired erotic comics. He also started some of the first gay erotic themed events, like International Mr. Leather. I find his artwork to be essential to gay culture. What I love about his work is that it was not just art--it was an erotic artistic movement ! I didn’t want to flood this with info from wikipedia but here is more information about him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_Orejudos
