Not quite. The Hulk had the lead story in Tales to Astonish # 99 and # 101, Captain America had the lead story in Tales of Suspense # 98, and Dr Strange had the lead story in Strange Tales # 164, 166 and 168. From Tales to Astonish # 99, Tales of Suspense # 98 and Strange Tales # 165 onwards, both stories in each issue were 11 pages long (except Tales to Astonish # 100, which had a 22 page fight between the Hulk and Namor).
