UPDATED: Inspector Gadget - Marvel UK

I've only recently discovered that Marvel UK produced an Inspector Gadget comic. It seems to have been quite short-lived - just the three issues perhaps? I'm not sure and would welcome any further insights from anyone.

Follow-up - having sought advise on the "Marvel UK comics" facebook page I got feedback that the content was reprinted from a French comic and lasted 4 issues (Michael Carroll) or 7 issues (Philip Jones). Micheal has yet to find a cover for issue 4 (let alone issues 5, 6 and 7) so let's plump for it lasting 4 issues. 
The group also came up with an odd looking cover for issue 2. Odd in that I'm not sure that this isn't actually a foreign version of the comic just with an English story title. Anyway, it'll do for now
