Was Lucas inspired by the Mandalorians to create the Clones in the Prequels Movies?

There is a Old Marvel Star Wars Comic with Mandalorians fighting in the Clone Wars it is one of the oldest representations of the Clone Wars with the Mandalorians Shysa Dala and Spar fighting in the Clone Wars did you think Lucas saw that image and saw 3 characters similar to Boba Fett that he decided to make the Clones in Boba Fett Dad Clones for his Prequels Movies? Lucas was fan of Comic Books so it would not be strange to think that he was inspired by that representation of the Clone Wars of the Marvel Comics i also think he was inspired by Tales of the Jedi and Dark Empire Comics for the Prequels supposedly George helped in the creation of Tales of the Jedi

According to the Wookieepedia page for List of Legends elements in the films:

“…we’re inspired by the comics and the books…” ― George Lucas

so it sure is a possibility.

Is the old Marvel comic you refer to the Star Wars 68: The Search Begins?

I’ll have to try and get my hands on some of those old comics again, and give them another read. If that is the comic, then I remember it being pretty cool. So it would be a shame if that was the inspiration for what would become some of the lame execution for the Clones and whole Clone Wars backstory in the Prequels.

There is a really good article somewhere listing many of Tom Veitch’s contributions and ideas from his EU work that later made their way into the films and series. I’ll see if I can find it, maybe at CBR or comicbook, at some place like that.
 

I think the New Jedi Order also has some stuff in that Lucas was going to use, or was inspired by, for his unused Sequel Trilogy ideas too. I know next to jack about the EU compared to others, but these folks seems to believe so on the NJO stuff:

Though more knowledgeable heads on here will know far more than me.
