Easter is the most important observation in the Christian liturgical year. It is called by many names in different languages:
- Based on Pagan name: In English, "Easter" is derived from the name of an ancient Pagan Goddess Eostre. Alternate, less common, names for Easter include the "Sunday of the Resurrection," "Pascha," and "Resurrection Day."
- Based on "Pesach:" In most of the remaining languages in countries with a Christian heritage, the name for Easter is derived from "Pesach." (פסח in Hebrew) the name for Passover.

The creature, called Swamp Thing, was originally conceived as Alec Holland mutating into a vegetable-like creature, a "muck-encrusted mockery of a man". However, under writer Alan Moore, Swamp Thing was reinvented as an elemental entity created upon the death of Alec Holland, with Holland's memory and personality intact. He is described as "a plant that thought it was Alec Holland, a plant that was trying its level best to be Alec Holland."
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing had a profound effect on mainstream comic books, being the first horror comic to approach the genre from a literary point of view since the EC horror comics of the 1950's, and broadened the scope of the series to include ecological and spiritual concerns while retaining its horror-fantasy roots.
