I’ve meant to dedicate some ink on Franc Vila for some time, ever since they dropped this beauty into market. This piece was issued in a special edition of 88 pieces to celebrate the first Spanish win in the 2010 World Cup. I guess my tardiness in posting is due in part to the fact that I’m still pissed about Brazil melting down in the Cup. In any event, appreciate if you will, this addition to the Cobra collection, the “Estrella Roja” (red star), which features the Spanish squad colors and a star commemorating this victory.
Better late than never, aye???
