Scott McCloud released his “Understanding Comics” in 1993. Barnes & Noble has marked the anniversary with this interview.

From the site:

“I’d like to think that Understanding Comics helped contribute to comics’ broader acceptance by both the general public and by various institutions like libraries, museums, and universities. But guys like me are only half of the solution. We can talk about how great comics are until we’re blue in the face, but it’s the best cartoonists (people like Spiegelman, Ware, Bechdel, Yang, etc) who prove it in the long run.”
