Scott Mitchell Rosenberg
Chairman

Scott Mitchell Rosenberg is chairman of Platinum Studios, an entertainment company that controls the world's largest independent library of comic book characters and adapts them for film, television and all other media. As chairman, Scott has played an integral role in creating the largest independent library of titles in comic book history. The Platinum Studios Library includes thousands of characters that have been published in millions of books all over the world, including anchor titles such as Cowboys & Aliens and Unique.

Scott established Platinum Studios in 1997, 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.

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 and a leader in the comic book industry. He recognized that comics were on the verge of one of many revolutions that would allow openings for new, smaller publishers, and that the advent of the Macintosh computer (circa 1986) and other technological advances of that time would soon allow those smaller companies to look bigger, minimizing their costs and maximizing the quality of their output. 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 and their Photoshop software to develop the leading standard system for the computer coloring of comic books.

Today, Scott produces and develops comic book properties for all media, including a slate of high-profile, live-action feature films, television series for major networks, direct to DVD features, direct to web content and many, many other avenues. His vision has allowed Platinum to develop the business model of the future where properties are developed simultaneously for multiple distribution models, maximizing profitability, visibility and availability for everyone involved, from the creator to the consumer.

Scott has been happily married since 1992, and lives in California with his wife and two daughters.
