* NeutralityBacklash: Etrigan teasingly hints that the Phantom Stranger is a former angel who's refused to choose sides in the ongoing conflict between Heaven and Hell, which is why he [[WalkingTheEarth walks the Earth]]. Although the Stranger angrily calls this a "distortion," he does tell the Swamp Thing earlier that Heaven is no longer his home. Moore would later expand on this idea for one of the Stranger's [[MultipleChoicePast possible origin stories]] in ''Secret Origins'' #10.

* YearInsideHourOutside: Arcane's only been in Hell a day, but it feels to him like years have gone by. Having a mountain's worth of eggs constantly hatching inside you will do that.

Resisting the temptation to stay there, he wills himself past that realm and into another, which seems oddly empty, except for a mother and son who've just died in a car accident but soon head towards a light and disappear from his view. The ghostly superhero SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadman}} appears and introduces himself, as on Earth the Swamp Thing's only met him through the bodies of those Deadman has possessed in the course of his duties. He tells the Swamp Thing they're in the Realm of the Just Dead, and upon learning Swamp Thing's purpose, offers to help him look for Abby there.

* CanonWelding: While Moore would continue with it all throughout ''Swamp Thing'', this is arguably where the ''Creator/VertigoComics'' tradition of binding the DCU's more obscure magical characters into a single system began. It would be taken to even greater heights in NeilGaiman's ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' and ''ComicBook/TheBooksOfMagic'', among other publications.
