Behind the scenes Edit

The name of the planet Neelgaimon was created by Barbara Hambly as an in-joke, modifying The Sandman writer's name Neil Gaiman, and "Sandman" to "sandmine." Hambly also modified Gaiman's name to create the character Gayman Neeloid in her novel Planet of Twilight. Hambly would later go to write one of the stories for The Sandman: Book of Dreams.[source?]
