Yeah, in practice, Baum wrote the story and Denslow drew the pictures, but legally, both of them owned everything jointly. Baum wrote a rival comic strip “Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz”, illustrated by Walt McDougall, and, when the George M. Hill Company, the original publisher of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” went bankrupt, Denslow purchased some unbound color plates and wrote a whole new story, “Pictures from ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz‘”, a fairly pathetic effort in the “night at the museum” genre, which didn’t make much sense, but managed to jam the pictures into an original, if uninspired plot.
