Scott Mitchell Rosenberg of Platinum Studios
Scott Mitchell Rosenberg is chairman of Platinum Studios, an entertainment company that hold the rights to over 3,800 characters and stories, some of which have appeared in millions of comics distributed in over 49 countries and 23 languages. Scott, along with Platinum Studios has adapted content for film, television and all other media. As chairman, Scott has played an integral role in creating the largest bible in comic book history: the Platinum Studios Macroverse. The Macroverse includes anchor titles such as Cowboys & Aliens (2011) and Unique, the first was produced with Universal and DreamWorks and the other was optioned for development by Disney.

Scott established Platinum Studios following a successful, high-profile career as the founder of Malibu Comics, a leading independent comic book company that was sold to Marvel Comics in 1994. During his time at Malibu, Scott led many successful comic spin offs into toys, television, and feature films, including the billion-dollar film and television phenomenon Men in Black (1997) .

Scott began his career in the comic book industry at age 13 when he started a mail order company. Scott became known for picking early hits as many of the writers, stories and characters he selected were not originally chart toppers. Based on his retail success, Scott began publishing his own independent comic book titles, which led to the creation of Malibu Comics in 1986. His first launch, Ex-Mutants, was an instant hit.

Since that time, Scott has been recognized as a pioneer in the comic book industry. He entered publishing upon recognizing the new way comics were being distributed -- and that there was an opening for new, smaller publisher. And that the advent of the Macintosh computer (circa 1986) allowed a small company to look bigger. He then brokered an industry-changing deal in 1992, when the seven top-selling artists defected from Marvel Comics to form Image Studios. Scott signed the artists to a label deal at Malibu to distribute Image Studios comics until their new company was up and running. In addition, Scott worked with Adobe's Photoshop software to develop the leading standard for the computer coloring of comic books.

Today, he produces comics and an exciting slate of high-profile, live-action feature films and television series based on current and upcoming comic books. He is also working to create comic books of the future, including electronic comics with animated panels and voice-overs, sound effects, and music from leading record labels like Virgin and Hollywood Records.

Scott lives with his two daughters in Los Angeles, CA.

  • Trivia
    In 1986 Mr. Rosenberg launched his own comic book company, Malibu Comics Entertainment. Mr. Rosenberg founded Malibu Comics with one title, The Ex-Mutants, and subsequently developed a library of hundreds of cutting-edge properties in a whole new "Ultraverse"- a comic book universe that contained quality characters including Prime, Rune, and Night Man. Under Mr. Rosenberg's leadership, Malibu Comics became the top independent comic book publisher in the United States. In 1992, he achieved an industry landmark deal as he lured away the most important artists from competitor Marvel Comics and established a distribution imprint for Malibu Comics with Image Comics, stressing the importance of the artists and characters in the industry. Mr. Rosenberg discovered the title Men In Black by a first-time comic book writer. Against all advice to the contrary, Mr. Rosenberg published the Men in Black comic book and soon after publication forged a development alliance to turn the property into a major motion picture - as well as an animated series for fall 1997. To date, Men in Black ranks as the highest grossing comic-to-film adaptation worldwide ($580 million). When his company was sold to Marvel Comics in 1994, Mr. Rosenberg maintained his role as president of Malibu Comics, which had taken over the entire computerized color production for Marvel, and also was simultaneously appointed Senior Executive Vice President of Marvel Comics. In late 1996, Platinum Studios, Europe's premiere library of comic book properties, was formed which allowed Mr. Rosenberg the opportunity to cultivate talent and characters from all over the world for domestic and international development in a variety of media.
