Let's start with the first two stories I lettered for DC! Both were for DC Pride 2022, one for Batwoman and the other for Green Lantern Jo Mullein (who I'm also lettering currently at Absolute Green Lantern!).
They're a few pages each, so you can't see much clutter as you would in a 20+ pages book.
