Loveless was originally about a man, Wes Cutter, who fought for the South in the Civil War and was captured.
After spending time in a prison camp he comes back to his previous home of Blackwater after the North won to find the town under Union control and his house occupied.
The stories within Loveless, since its inception and especially in its later years center around racism and the grittier realities of American history.
The title was penciled and inked by three artists on a rotating schedule: Marcelo Frusin (#1-5, 9-10, covers), Danijel Zezelj (#6-8, 13-15, 22-24), Werther Dell'Edera (#11-12, 16-21).
