Through the 80s, Klein mostly worked at DC which, as well as writing many names, he created logos and title headers for different letter pages. When DC recovered from a 1970s/early 1980s slumpin business, new opportunities emerged for freelancers. Klein was able to work more as an artist (and as a decent amount writing) and was able to keep him active. His books that he worked on during this time included Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing, Batman: Year One, and Detective Comics along with the scripts he wrote for his own Omega Men. As a freelancer Klein also worked on productions on works such like Moore as well as Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen, Frank Miller’s Ronin as well as Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.

Klein saw the growing prevalence of computerized lettering in the early 1990s and quickly realized it was the wave of the future. He had met Comicraft owners Richard Starkings and John Gaushell at the 1993 San Diego Comic-Con, and in 1994, he asked them to help him get started with computer lettering by creating a few fonts based on Klein’s hand lettering. Klein bought his first Macintosh computer in late 1994 and started learning how to make fonts himself. Since 1995, Klein has created a library of over 100 of his own fonts.

A lot the DC’s headers for lettercol were created or revised in the 1980s by Klein. :

He also did letters and art corrections to comics pages. Other employees were the colorists Bob LeRose and Anthony Tollin and writers Bob Rozakis, inker Steve Mitchell as well as the letterer John Workman. Through the subsequent few months as well, Klein tried his hand at everything however, he decided that lettering was the one that suited the best for him. Workman was able to help Klein to get started using the fundamental tools and techniques and Klein was able to study his work by Gaspar Saladino, Workman, Ben Oda, and John Costanza and Marvel Comics letterers Tom Orzechowski, Jim Novak, and Joe Rosen. Klein found his first lettering gig as a freelancer at the end of the year 1977 and by the end of 1977, he was given the entire number of issues: Firestorm #1.
