Apologies, gang, for taking sooo long to post this. I plead a lack of time and (primarily) energy, as I'm struggling to complete the first chapter of my next book while dealing with ongoing medical issues. Given this year's topic, I'd hoped to have this up by Valentine's Day at the latest but you know what they say about the best laid plans... At any rate, here we are at last. What a great CCC this turned out to be! I can't say I was exactly surprised by the top choices (though I never would've guessed our first place winners), but some of your other choices blew my little mind. But before we get to your lists, let's take arf a mo to look at some staggering stats, shall we?
24 participants cast 288 votes for 190 couples. This made for a lot more duplicate votes than we've seen in the past few years but, hey, everybody loves a lover, right?
Taking the gold with 8 votes are Jack Kirby's Scott Free and Big Barda. Tied for second place with 7 votes each are Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters and Ralph and Sue Dibny, while the bronze goes to Wesley Dodds and Dian Belmont with 6 votes.
5 votes: Bruce Wayne and Silver St. Cloud, Maggie Chascarillo and Hopey Glass, Swamp Thing and Abigail Arcane
4 votes: Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle of Earth-Two, Katar and Shayera Hol, Miyamoto Usagi and Tomoe Ame, Reed Richards and Sue Storm
3 votes: Aquaman and Mera, Cutter and Leetah, Jean Grey and Scott Summers, Ka-Zar and Shanna, Monsieur Mallah and The Brain, Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson, Valerian and Loreline, Vision and The Scarlet Witch
2 votes: Adam Strange and Alanna, Alex Summers and Lorna Dane, Batman and Catwoman, Batman and Nocturna, Bigby Wolf and Snow White, Calvin and Susie Derkins, Captain America and Diamondback, Clark Kent and Lois Lane (post-Crisis), Danny Rand and Misty Knight, Destro and The Baroness, Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon, E-Man and Nova Kane, Francine Helena Peters-Silver and Katina “Katchoo” Choovanski, Green Arrow and Black Canary, Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, Horatio Hellpop and Sundra Peale, Howard the Duck and Beverly Switzler, Hulk and Jarella, Hulkling and Wiccan, Jennifer Mays and Gabe Webb, Jesse Custer and Tulip O'Hare, John Cnstantine and Kit Ryan, Jon Sable and Myke Blackmon, Kal-El and Lyla Lerrol, Karate Kid and Princess Projectra, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, Nick Fury and Pam Hawley, Peter Parker and Betty Brant, Popeye and Olive Oyl, Redlance and Nightfall, Robin/Nightwing and Starfire, Tarzan and Jane Porter, Tristan and Isolde, Wildfire and Dawnstar, Zot and Jenny Weaver
1 vote: Everybody else!
Once again pleading a lack of time and energy, I haven't broken the votes down by publisher, genre, etc., but if one of you brave souls wants to figure 'em out, I encourage you to post the results here.
And now, your ballots:
