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