Yes, I don't see why not. Comics have had a big cultural impact in the late 20th century and this has continued into the 21st century with Marvel and DC comic characters being brought to the movie screen and TV. What you are referring to is the army of psychic projectors who are mainly based in the underground bases within the Earth. They can project their thoughts directly into people's minds.
However, such comic book influences may go back much further. The man who really promoted NASA's the Face on Mars photograph was the science commentator Richard Hoagland. He subsequently discovered that a comic artist called Jack Kirby (who later did art work for Marvel comics) had produced a 1958 comic strip, which depicted astronauts encountering a huge sculpted face on Mars:

Hoagland also found a set of 1950's slides or transparencies that you could pull through a handheld slide viewer called a Viewmaster, which told the story of the mysterious extinct race that had lived on Mars thousands of years earlier. Curiously, it was the Face on Mars that originally led me to this website.
Hoagland thought Kirby's story suggested that there was already some foreknowledge of the Face on Mars and the other Martian monuments at Cydonia even before the NASA Viking I satellite photographed the Face in 1976. This could be the case but I would not rule out the involvement of the underworld psychic projectors either.

I think the following poster's comments may be along the right lines:
"Because the art work is oriented wrong doesn't take away from the compelling idea the artists and writers had. If this idea of a face on Mars is embedded in the psychology or genetic memories of some persons then it's possible that the conscious mind misinterpreted some of the information. In 1958 a face on Mars would have been a radical idea, so whomever came up with the idea could have awakened from a dream up with a start and starting writing the story as quickly as possible. There was nothing to compare the idea with, so it's entirely plausible that an artist or writer would think that all it was was an idea and not a deep seated memory or archetype of the subconscious."
