M’oscars:

Montrose prepares the red carpet for film awards.

A signed Wolverine graphic novel is among a treasure trove of items up for grabs at a glittering event in Montrose.

The Town Hall will dress up like the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard for the return of A Night at the M’oscars.

The sold-out event has been organised by the Montrose Playhouse Project to raise money for a new £2.5 million community art centre and cinema in the town’s old swimming pool building.

The signed Old Man Logan graphic novel by Avengers and Wolverine writer Mark Millar is one of seven items which will go up for auction tonight.

Playhouse chairman David Paton said: “Mark is also the playhouse patron.

“He was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to sign this copy of Old Man Logan for us to auction off.

“It is a truly unique item for any graphic novel collector.”

Other auction items will include framed paintings from local artists; a four-ball at Montrose Links; and objects from the former town swimming pool which have been made into works of art.

Raffle prizes include a six-course taster menu; Montrose FC hospitality; tickets to see Billy Ocean in Inverness; and golf lessons.

Entertainment on the night will be provided by local band Peyton Place with comedy from Scott Forbes and Jamie Dalgleish.

Mr Paton said: “The Playhouse project moved on leaps and bounds in 2017 with the main step forward being the purchase of the old pool in September which allowed the team to really start pushing the project forward.”

The next step will be to build up walls and a steel frame inside the pool itself, which will be covered by a concrete floor to create a large, useable space.

The Wolverine novels inspired a series of films.
