Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just got into an argument with someone who started out by saying S1 SPN was a weak Hellblazer ripoff, and then went on to say S1-3 were Charmed with dudes. Which totally makes no sense, because 4 & 5 are more Hellblazer like (with an explicit Constantine riff for Castiel's look), and Charmed? Really? You're just trying to pick a fight.
It's the Internet. I should know when to walk away. But I sniff at the people who only like 4 & 5, and the people who think angels ruined everything. Fie on them all.

Because books.
I don't know what Hellblazer is, so that's beyond me. But Charmed, really? Not even close.
The Constantine look for Cas is pretty obvious. I think Kripke has more or less admitted he's a fan.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's the Internet. I should know when to walk away.
If we knew did that, it wouldn't be the Internet.
But those people were just wrong.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
What is this crazy talk? 1 & 2 were fab, 3 was pretty frickin' good, 4 & 5 were also fab, and they all had their weak points. 5 suffered from Sam's hair and the dropping of the Dean/Cas friendship for the final two eps.
I swear, where once there were long loving intimate shots of Castiel, scenes where he was present would go out of their way to crop him from the shot or barely catch him in frame. I'm not making this shit up. (I bitch about this because it's freshest in my memory).

Oh! I didn't know they were the same thing, I've only seen the movie.
Another admission, though -- I'm only assuming double equal signs still mean *does equal*, so.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think that look for angels goes back to Wings of Desire (remade as City of Angels) maybe farther.

Hellblazer is the title of the of the comic book series that stars John Constantine. Who is decidedly not Keanu Reeves. I don't know what that was about.
Constantine's supposed to look like Sting. I'm pretty shallow about that.

Kripke's been explicit about the tan trenchcoat being Constantine-inspired, which I doubt had anything to do with Wings of Desire.

I thought I heard Constantine's look was inspired by David Bowie. I wanted Paul Bettany to play him in the movie. sigh.
