A New Author's First Book, with some help from an experienced mentor

This evening, on the dining room table, there is a white sheet, with blue ballpoint-pen font, which constitutes the front cover of a book currently in the works.  It has a crossed out and updated details about the authorship and collaboration of the work underway.  The upper- and lower-case rendering of the letters is exactly as printed below.

Title:

WORLDS
GReaEST
BADGUY

Details:

Oldcrossed-out details:
story by Ian
title and illystrated by DAniel.

New, updated details (obviously Ian's work):
help and seggestions by Ian
by Daniel

The final line indicates that Daniel is the general author of the publication.  My guess would be that Ian decided to empower his protege by promoting him to "ownership" of the project, as Ian graciously demoted himself to a consultant's role, so that Daniel could call the work his own.

I don't think anyone would be surprised that Daniel's first work should be entitled "World's Greatest BadGuy."
