Krypton


by Eugene Ipavec, 2 March 2005

The flag of Krypton, Superman's home planet, first appeared in Action Comics #246 (Nov 1958). It is described as:

A multicolored banner consisting of pale rays of blue, yellow, lavender, white, green, orange, pink, light green, and red radiating outward from a circular center featuring a green and pale blue design suggestive of a body of water all but encircled by lush green land.

Quoted from the Superman Encyclopedia.
There is an image of it here. There are a total of 10 rays- each color is used only once except for light green which is used for two rays, one on each side of the red.
Edward Smith, 26 February 2005


the colors may be a bit faded--a problem easiliy solved by turning the saturation up a bit. The description says 'red' for the ninth ray, for example, but the .jpg shows more of an orange. Though the desription is a bit spotty--it only lists colors for nine rays, and there are ten.

Superman as Ruler of the World

Two fictional flags of Earth from DC comic books. Both come from issues in which Superman decides to give the whole superhero thing a rest and take up global domination instead.

Can be seen here. This is sort of a Soviet style one--1:2, and with the S crest in the upper hoist.
