Townhead comic book king buys 200 cinema tickets for locals to see Toy Story 4

Townhead residents are set to benefit yet again from the kind-heart of comic mogul Mark Millar.

The brains behind popular film series’ Kick-Ass and Kingsman runs a charitable foundation that organises enjoyable events for local people.

Mark, who is from Townhead and runs the foundation with his wife Lucy, is now purchasing 200 cinema tickets for residents to go and see Toy Story 4.

The screening is on August 2 and tickets will be given out this Sunday after services at St Bartholomews church and Townhead parish church.

It is two tickets per person for the showing at Shocase Cinema and are available on a first come, first served basis.

Mark said: “We’re always trying to think of cool new ideas for Townhead and we thought we might as well take advantage of having a brilliant cinema like the Showcase on our doorstep.

“I’ve seen this movie twice already with my own kids and I wanted something that works for all ages as some of the big summer movies are a bit frightening if you’re wee.

“I love this movie and this should hopefully be a nice summer holiday memory for the families in the scheme where I have such happy memories growing up. Lucy and I hope everyone enjoys it.”
