"DC wanted horror stories… Excuse me… 'Mystery' stories' revolving around all the different holidays. Well before I knew it, all of the older, established comic book writers from the generation of Denny O'Neil, Len Wein, Marv Wolfman..., etc. quickly gobbled up such things as Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween, yada yada yada. So I decided to go the most 'Unexpected' way and being merely a DC Junior Woodchuck, I asked for and got a go ahead to craft a story about Easter. The one warning I was given was that they did not want a Jesus/zombie 'back from the dead' story. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I decided to push the envelope as far as DC, my editor Jack Harris, and the powers that be at the Comics Code would allow. After an inspiring listen to my childhood record of Gene Autry singing, 'Here Comes Peter Cottontail, Hopping Down the Bunny Trail,' I started writing." -- Michael Uslan
