On a fateful Friday the 13th in October 1972, a plane traveling from Uruguay to Chile, carrying a young rugby team, crashed in an inaccessible area in the heart of the Andes Mountains. For many weeks, the survivors had to endure intense cold, biting hunger, thirst, and the despair of being completely abandoned. To survive, they eventually resorted to eating the flesh from the frozen bodies of the deceased. In this harrowing and almost inhuman ordeal, they were spared nothing.

Born in Ajaccio, Corsica, in 1973, Frederic Bertocchini is a historian, journalist, and prolific comics scriptwriter. He holds a doctorate in Ancient History and has authored numerous historical and biographical graphic novels, often focusing on Corsican themes. Notable works include Jim Morrison: Poete du Chaos, Ai Zitelli!, and Janis Joplin: Pearl. He is also the founder of the Ajaccio International Comics Festival, which he led from 2002 to 2011.

Thierry Diette is a French illustrator known for his expressive and realistic drawing style. He previously collaborated with Bertocchini on La Cordillere des mes, a graphic novel recounting the 1972 Andes plane crash. In 1972, Des Ombres sur la Glace, Diette's artwork vividly portrays the harrowing experiences of the survivors.?

Pascal Nino is a seasoned French colorist who has contributed to numerous comic books. His coloring work in 1972, Des Ombres sur la Glace enhances the narrative's emotional depth, using a palette that reflects the stark and unforgiving environment of the Andes.?
