This book contains stats for types of mobsters to fight, like cowardly hoodlums and ultra-mad scientists, and examples of lootable items Heroes can claim as trophies, like healing pills and guns +1.
Trivia about Book II:
Anyone looking at the current versions of the e-books can tell what an uphill climb developing formatting skills has been for me, and it shows worst of all on Book II of all the books. In the new version, I think I finally have all those problems licked.
Some incarnations of Book II have contained mobsters that shouldn't be there. The original version of Book II included the ogre magi, until I realized I had wanted to save that mobster for Supplement I. The current version of the e-book contains the bloodthirsty hoodlum, a mobster that actually debuted much later in The Trophy Case, but was intentionally slipped in, the last time I tried to fix all the formatting problems, as a bonus. In the POD version, the bloodthirsty hoodlum is coming back out, as one of the cuts for page length considerations.
One of the challenges in writing H&H has been to include some semblance of the racism so characteristic of comic books in the '30s and '40s, without being offensively racist. It's a tightrope walk, but a wise step back was probably switching "savages" to "natives" after the first version of Book II came out.
