UPDATED: 'The wisdom of gnomes'

One of the first comics I ever blogged about (here, here and here) was a title called 'Wanted' - it was published by 'Celebrity' - a publisher about whom I knew very little (then or now!). It would turn out that Celebrity's most successful title would be their Count Duckula comic (which I covered here), but they had at least one other title published. This was The wisdom of gnomes, an (according to wikipedia) animated series made in Spain and was a spin-off from the series 'David the gnome'.

Cover art looks like it is by Mario Capaldi.
24 pages long
Inside you get a single story - Journey to Scotland - which runs to 16 pages - with the rest being a mix of games, puzzles and adverts.
Interior art is unsigned but looks like it could be Capaldi (albeit drawing in quite a simplified style).

Now the question is - were there any more issues? Surely, no comic series stops after 3 issues? Sadly, I can't find any more but if you know differently do let me know.

UPDATE: I've now found the following references in Denis Gifford's old ACE newsletters...

Newsletter #115 (volume 13, issue 3), June 1990, Wisdom goes monthly from the April 1990 issue

Newsletter #117 (volume 13, issue 5), September 1990, the July 1990 issue of Wisdom is the final issue - issue #17 - and here it is c/o comics fan, and friend of the blog, Michael Carroll

So that's quite a few more issues than I was expecting and means there's plenty more issues to track down.

There were also (at least) 2 annuals produced - both look like they are sporting covers by Mario Capaldi.
