No, it's the whole thing. Under his contract he retained ownership of all the material, and presumably nothing about his contract actually bars him from releasing it as public domain.

Does he own the rights to the art though? All the penciling and coloring was done by people under contract, not him.

Depending on how the contracts are written, they may be works for hire, with the copyright owner getting the copyright for the art as well.
