This is an insanely rare autograph from serial killer/hitman Richard Leonard Kuklinski, aka the Iceman. Kuklinski signed his full name in marker and under it wrote his nickname “Iceman.” He then dated is 1998 in the bottom corner. The big letters “CN -HCN” that Kuklinski also wrote on this page are the abbreviations for Hydrogen Cyanide, something he commonly used in many of his murders/mob hits.
In 10 years of collecting murderabilia items, we have never seen a Kuklinski item available for sale, making this autograph exceptionally rare and valuable!

Richard Leonard Kuklinski (April 11, 1935 – March 5, 2006), known as “The Iceman,” was an American contract killer and career criminal linked to the murders of at least five confirmed victims, though he claimed to have killed over 100 people. Active primarily in New Jersey and New York from the 1950s through the 1980s, Kuklinski worked as a hitman for various organized crime families.
He earned his nickname for reportedly freezing victims’ bodies to obscure time of death. Kuklinski was arrested in 1986 after an undercover operation and convicted of multiple murders. He was sentenced to consecutive life terms and died in prison in 2006. His life and confessions have been widely analyzed for insights into sociopathy, organized crime violence, and the psychology of professional killers.
