“inspired” isn’t the word. Gaiman pretty shamelessly ripped it off for Sandman. Never even acknowledged it IIRC, despite her asking him for a shoutout because she was so hard up.
N.B. this is half-remembered gossip - do your own research, don’t just take my word for it
The funny thing is that I almost always call Gaiman out for stealing her ideas. I was a fan of hers for years, but never got into the gossip. I hope she’s in a better place now.
