Claude Merlin
Alejandro Jodorowsky has had a comet named after him.
The filmmaker and comics writer has been honoured by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planets Centre at the request of French astronomer Jean-Claude Merlin, reports Agence France-Presse.
The 84-year-old Franco-Chilean writer and director is best known for his frequent collaborations with the late artist Jean Giraud - better known as Moebius.
The pair created the acclaimed sci-fi comic The Incal, as well as The Eyes of the Cat.
Jodorowsky joins a short list of comics creators who have been honoured with the naming of a comet, including J Michael Straczynski (for his work on TV series Babylon 5) and Carl Barks.
The name was approved July 24 by the Committee on Small Body Nomenclature.
