XCity has had some fascinating covers over the years. Everyone from OJ Simpson to heroic war reporters have appeared on the front, along with everything from killer keyboards to action figures drowning in cotton wool (trust us it made sense at the time).

A few weeks ago we asked you all to vote for your favourite one, and now it’s time to unveil the winner.

But first, let’s take a look at the least popular cover:

The worst cover… 1997

XC 97

Apparently this is not what you really really want.

Now onto the winners:

Tied in third place were… 1995 and 2014

XC 95CM

Probably the first time OJ and Caitlin Moran have hung out together.

In second place was… 2011

XC 11

But we’ll bump you up to first if you give us a job.

And the winner, as chosen by you, was… 2012

He could look less smug about it though.
