In "Tropical Trouble," a family’s Hawaiian vacation takes a deadly turn when they stumble into a drug operation, drawing the attention of both Microchip and the Punisher. Written by Carl Potts and illustrated by Jim Lee with inks by Al Milgrom and Don Hudson, this 1990 issue blends high-stakes action with the grim intensity of the Punisher’s world, all wrapped in a striking cover by Jim Lee.
