Get a kick out of reading Eclectic Commons - lately a post about Krypton’s Karma has me tickled pink (no, glowing green); I also like the picture of an exploding Krypton. Where does doc Jon Percepto come up with this stuff?
Krypton’s Karma
Actually, I used to like reading some comics, but when it came to comics about Krypton, they always had an element of science within them; infact, comic books and science aren't that far apart - as in Comic Book Science in the Classroom featured on NPR.com:
"..new experiment in Maryland has students and teachers using comic books as learning tools. The program illustrates an ongoing debate: do teachers give students a challenge, or offer less difficult material that is more likely to spark their interest?"
One of my favorite comics when I was a kid was the Metal Men (I think it was published by DC Comics); there has been a website for some time about the Periodic Table of Comic Books (would Krypton be in there)? Yes (see below)

If we look for Krypton in all the comic books we'd see it's appearance using the search function on this site and we can find all about Krypton (in comic books) here.
While we're at it, Dogbert also talks about Executive Dashboards in this comic :
