“On the Track of Unknown Animals”

In "On the Track of Unknown Animals," Frank Castle is sent to Africa on a bizarre dinosaur-hunting expedition orchestrated by Microchip, hoping to pull him away from his brutal crusade in the city. Meanwhile, Wolverine arrives on the same continent, chasing a poaching ring that leads him deep into the jungle. When a group of gorillas is slaughtered during Frank’s mission, the Punisher’s hunt turns deadly—only to collide with Wolverine, who mistakes him for a killer. The two iconic warriors, each driven by vengeance and suspicion, find themselves locked in a brutal confrontation in the heart of the wild. Written and illustrated by Carl Potts, with dynamic artwork by Jim Lee and vivid colors by Gregory Wright, this 1989 Marvel classic features a cover by Jim Lee and Carl Potts that captures the tension of two legends about to clash.

Microchip sends Frank to Africa as part of a dinosaur hunting expedition to get him away from the city and his war on crime. Wolverine tracks down a poaching ring in Madripoor and heads to Africa to look for the source. When gorillas are slaughtered on Frank's expedition, the Punisher begins to track the killers down. Wolverine and the Punisher run across each other in the African jungle and, each assuming the other to be a poacher, begin to fight.
