On Cinematic L.A.ndscapes

In "Essentials of Spontaneous Prose," when Jack Kerouac says, Bookmovie, the visual American form, is he talking about comic books?

In The Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, when Sam and Joe see Citizen Kane, they see in it, how they can use narrative techniques to achieve a more sophisticated mode of storytelling.

When we see how things form, the secret history of things, isn't this just a version of Don DeLillo's Underworld?
