uuuuh ..... chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) was one of the first minerals ever mined and smelted along with galena (for lead) and other sulfur-containing minerals. Rare my ass, it's the most common copper ore of all! Chalcopyrite is what lead to the Bronze Age. It was the primary source of copper pretty much until the modern age. Not to mention, it also contains iron so why not just make steel?! This is so stupid.
So is this story supposed to take place in the stone age or something?
Couldn't the author just have typed in "chalcopyrite history" in google? Are authors of graphic novels allergic to the internet or something, why doesn't anyone do even a minimal amount of research, this shit happens all the time in these stories .....
