<http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Gaiman_v._McFarlane>
    In addition to the copyright notices, McFarlane registered
    copyright on the issues and the books.
    ... McFarlane’s registrations no more revealed an intent to claim
    copyright in Gaiman’s contributions, as distinct from McFarlane’s
    own contributions as compiler and illustrator, . . .

Your reading comprehension is as lacking as always.
Registration of copyright in a work is not a claim
against any co-authors who may exist. It is a formal
notice by an author that he has copyright in the work.
