'''Jim Cutlass''' is a Franco-Belgian comic book series created by Jean-Michel Charlier and Jean Giraud (Creator/{{Moebius}}), creators of the more famous western ''ComicBook/{{Blueberry}}''. The first album appeared in 1979, and the seventh and final in 1999, it was started due to a legal dispute over the rights to ''Blueberry'', and is a Western sharing many of the characteristics, but taking place in the DeepSouth instead of the west. It centres on the titular Jim Cutlass, a lieutenant in the US Army and a veteran of the Civil War, whom returns from the army to maintain the plantation he has inherited along with his cousin, Carolyn ([[KissingCousins whom he is also in love with]]).

* DespairEventHorizon: For Woodrow, The White Alligators murder of an innocent faimly. It caused him to lose faith in the cause.

* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Given the setting, alligators is a must. But The White Alligator (the reptile, not the person), serves a special mention. To iterate, it is an enormous albino alligator, revered as a creature of the swamp, feared by anyone, and probably controlled by The White Alligator. When Cutlass is abandoned in the swamp by Woodrow, normal alligators surround his canoe. He reassures himself that they woudl never be able to overturn it, and then he sees this creature on the bank. OhCrap does not even ''begin'' to describe hsi reaction when it enters the water, easily overturns his canoe, forces him to flee into a tree, ''and then starts cutting down the tree to get to him.''

* NightmareSequence: Cutlass' nightmare involving The White Alligator is terrifying. It starts with him happily envisioning his marriage with Carolyn, when suddenly The White Alligator (reptile) bursts in, grows to ''deinosuchus'' like lenghts, and wreaks Cutlass' plantation. Then its master appears, and takes away Carolyn to marry her himself, while she is induced in a very scary zombie-like trance. And appearantly The White Alligator has the power to instill this into people at will.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Appearently, The White Alligator intends to create a nation exclusively for black people, which at this time was a viable option as they wre still held in tight poverty and racism in the south, while it would be considered blantant racism today.

** BigBadWannabe: Playcard.
* TheBrute: McKee.
