Affectionately known as "The Green Devil," Cappiello struck a chord with this poster that has reverberated down through the decades. Mischevious, arcane and naughty, this green figure, highlighted in purple, is popping a cork from a brown bottle, and makes for an image that flirts with something sinister in a way that manages to be charming and compelling. One of the most memorable icons in Cappiello's visual legacy.
