A Touch of Typhoid collects Daredevil 253-270 and Punisher #10.
So Daredevil is my favorite Marvel character these days so I'm reading whatever I get my hands on. I read one comic in this run hot off the rack back in the day so I had an inkling of what to expect.
Ann Nocenti, John Romita Jr, and Al Williamson are the creative team for the bulk of the book. JRJR's art with Al Williamson on top makes Hell's Kitch feel like a dirty, dangerous place. Ann's stories reference Daredevil's recent Frank Miller past so you know Matt's not getting an easy ride. The majority of the book feature's Typhoid trying to destroy Matt's life and Matt dealing with the aftermath. There's a strong sexual component to Typhoid's relationship with Matt and I'm surprised the code let all the innuendo go by. It's a pretty powerful storyline, ending with Matt going walkabout.
Nobody takes an ass-kicking like Daredevil and this book was no exception. If I had any doubts about Ann Nocenti as a writer, they were dispelled with this. Not only does she integrate the Inferno event into the book, she tells two whole issues with Daredevil mostly dead in a pile of garbage and makes them interestin.
Four out of five stars. I guess I'm getting Ann's other Daredevil Epic Collections now.

There's just something about DD comicbooks that just hits different, maybe it's because I'm in love with him.
