The following is a list of Dick Tracy villain debuts. One of the appeals of the Dick Tracy comic strip is its unique villains. [1] Many had bizarre deformities, including the Blank (1937), Little Face Finny (1941), Pruneface (1943), the Brow (1944), Shaky (1945), and Pearshape (1949). [2] Chester Gould wrote these villains for his reader's righteous condemnation, without exploring moral gray areas. [3] This was emphasized by depicting the heroes as attractive and the villains as grotesque. [3] Other notable villains include Big Boy (1931), Breathless Mahoney (1931) and Flattop (1943).
