DC Comics gets a little PR mileage — and a plug for Darwyn Cook and Tim Sales’ Superman Confidential – out of yesterday’s reports of the discovery of kryptonite in Serbia, courtesy of The New York Times.

“The universe is full of mysteries, and some have been foreshadowed by comics,” DC President and Publisher Paul Levitz, tells George Gene Gustines. “We look forward to scientists figuring this one out.”

The mineral was unearthed by researchers for a mining group, and identified by a minerologist from London’s Natural History Museum. Kryptonite is white, not green and glowing, and, much to Superman’s relief, quite harmless.
