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 7 issues (Philip Jones).
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.
Stuart Vandal has also contributed some cover images - thanks!

Ok so now I've added a cover image for issues #7 - that just leaves #5 missing entirely and #2 in need of a bit of an upgrade to the British version. Nearly there!

ok, so I'm not convinced this is the Marvel UK version of issue 2 but it's the best I've got so far!
