List of Dick Tracy villain debuts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 Finney (1941), Pruneface (1943), The Brow (1944), Shakey (1945), and Pear Shape (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]
