Dry Clean

Great noir comic book by Belgian artist Mertens about lonely man who works in dry cleaning company as driver and dreaming about fortune regularly gambles on lottery hoping to win. He also have a crush on some woman working in a kiosk. When new worker arrives he goes with him to deliver clean clothes to clients and eventually they venture outside of Brussels to some isolated house in the woods. There he encounters house full of dead people and bag full of cash. Astonished and terrified but at the same time tempted by money he takes the bag and hides it in the woods, and explains to his coworker that job is done. After some time sitting in restaurant he sees news about wanted man who killed all those people in the house. Stricken by paranoia he decides to take the money he hid all the time looking around himself for police and criminals. But as he finally manages to find the spot where he buried the money he realizes it was flooded and in desperation jumps in deep water, find the bag but mud brings him down and he dies. Irony about this man is that in final two pages he won the lottery, but too late. Artwork  is pretty good in portraying 70's Brussels and in creating noirish atmosphere.
