Lionesses captain Leah Williamson has guest-edited a special edition of the popular comic to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Minnie the Minx. The storyline celebrates the "formidable duo" of England footballer Williamson, who led her side to Euros glory last year, and the mischievous red-haired character Minnie. The special anniversary edition features Williamson starring in an impromptu musical, called The Lioness Sings, with the Bash Street School children, where she finds her inner Minnie and plays pranks in assembly. Mike Stirling, Director of Mischief at Beano Studios, said: "Leah Williamson is a real-life Minnie, and this formidable duo is at the centre of an anniversary issue like no other. Beano was first published in July 1938 and is still created every week at its original Dundee headquarters.
