It's been over twenty years since I sold of my TTA, TOS, and Strange Tales collection and I have a question for anyone who knows.
Was there a set pattern in determining which character got the feature story in any of the split books?
Did it have to do with who was featured on the cover or purely random?
Cap before Iron Man?
Dr. Strange before Nick Fury?
Giant-Man before Hulk?
Hulk before Sub-Mariner?

As always, any info is appreciated.


When they weren't doing split covers, Cap and Iron Man alternated, Cap with the even issues.

Hulk and the Sub-Mariner alternated from month to month, while Giant-Man and the Hulk spilt covers.

Doctor Strange during Ditko's run never got a full cover until his very last issue. Afterwards, Doctor Strange and Nick Fury alternated.
