Absolutely. Text can be equally well represented on video, audio or in pure text. I did not mean the media to be separate. Clearly, audio media are contained in video ones (unless it's a silent movie but I don't think we have those), but not in comics ones. So a pop song can be depicted in a comic strip by its text, but an instrumental piece cannot be depicted and would have to be explicitly named. (I did try to figure out the music score from the cover of The Silver Turk. It was a nightmare and never led anywhere.)
