Drawn and Quarterly: 25 Drawn & Quarterly Press, 776 pp., $49.95. "Twenty-Five Years of Contemporary Cartooning, Comics, and Graphic Novels" is the subtitle of this truly voluminous survey of some of the finest artists and authors working in the medium today and yesterday, all the way back to 1990. For a quarter-century now, the D & Q folks have provided a venue for the likes of Chester Brown (the six-part "The Zombie Who Liked the Arts"), Julie Doucet ("An Happy Ending Nightmare"), R. Sikoryak (Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself," illustrated in a kind of Silver Age Jack Kirby mode), Art Spiegelman (pages from his sketchbooks), and men and women who render their worlds in sometimes cinematic, enigmatic, surreal, dark, darkly humorous, strange, moving, and meaningful ways. This is a definitive anthology, full-color and fully loaded.

Saboteur The County Theater, Doylestown, 7 p.m. Wednesday. Released in 1942, with the U.S. in the throes of war in Europe and the Pacific, Alfred Hitchcock's thriller stars Robert Cummings as an airplane factory worker wrongly accused of blowing up the plant. Like many a Hitchcock hero before him, he goes on the run, trying to clear his name and track down the real culprits. There's suspense, there's skulduggery, and there's Priscilla Lane as the woman he shares a pair of handcuffs with. (The Master stealing from himself - he used the same gimmick in 1935's The Thirty-Nine Steps.) Info: countytheater.org, or 215-345-6789.

Welcome to Me Alchemy DVD $19.99, and Blu-ray $24.99. Kristen Wiig is wiggy, weird, and wonderful as a Southern Californian with borderline personality disorder who wins the lottery and decides to bankroll a TV talk show with her millions - with herself as the star. Funny, creepy, poignant, the film is a feat. Wes Bentley, Joan Cusack, James Marsden,

and Tim Robbins co-star.
