==Early life==
Millar was born in Coatbridge, Scotland, one of six siblings. His parents were also born in Coatbridge; Millar, who spent the first half of his life in the Townhead area of Coatbridge, attended St Ambrose High in Coatbridge. He has four older brothers,〔"The Third Degree: Mark Millar". ''Jupiter's Legacy'' #1 (April 2013). p. 27 Image Comics.〕 and one older sister.〔 His brother Bobby, who today works at a special needs school, introduced him to comics at age 4 while attending university by taking him to shops and purchasing them for him. Still learning to read, Millar's first comic was the seminal ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #121 (1973), which featured the death of Gwen Stacy. He purchased a Superman comic that day as well.〔 Black and white reprinted comics purchased by his brothers for him would follow, cementing his interest in the medium〔 so much that Millar drew a spider web across his face with indelible marker that his parents were unable to scrub off in time for his First Communion photo a week later.〔 Millar has named Alan Moore and Frank Miller as the two biggest influences on his career, characterizing them as "my Mum and Dad." Other writers he names as influences include Grant Morrison, Peter Milligan, Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis. More recent writers that have impressed him include Jason Aaron and Scott Snyder.〔
Millar's mother died of a heart attack at age 64, when Millar was 14, and his father died four years later, aged 65.〔 Although Millar enjoyed drawing comics, he was not permitted to go to art school because his family frowned upon such endeavours as a waste of time for the academic Millar, who studied subjects like chemistry, physics and advanced maths. He initially planned to be a doctor, and subsequently decided that becoming an economist would be a viable alternate plan, but later decided that he "couldn't quite hack it" in that occupation.〔 He attended Glasgow University to study politics and economics, but dropped out after his father's death left him without the money to pay his tuition.〔
