Sim. Alan Moore declarou que em uma entrevista : Steve Bissette e John Totleben, os artistas que desenharam o Swamp Thing (que Alan Moore estava escrevendo na época) enviou-lhe notas, expressando o desejo de desenhar um personagem parecido com Sting.
Então ele criou o personagem John Constantine:
But I can state categorically that the character only existed because Steve and John wanted to do a character that looked like Sting. Having been given that challenge, how could I fit Sting into Swamp Thing ? I have an idea that most of the mystics in comics are generally older people, very austere, very proper, very middle class in a lot of ways. They are not at all functional on the street. It struck me that it might be interesting for once to do an almost blue-collar warlock. Somebody who was streetwise, working class, and from a different background than the standard run of comic book mystics. Constantine started to grow out of that.
