Rosenberg established Platinum Studios in 1997 following a successful, high-profile career in the comic book industry as founder and head of Malibu Comics, a company whose a creator-friendly approach and savvy marketing and distribution made it the top independent comics publisher in the U.S., with many successful spinoffs into toys, animated and live-action television, and feature films. Always willing to explore new directions and take chances on new talent with original ideas, Rosenberg produced innovative comics like Men In Black, from first-time writer Lowell Cunningham, which Rosenberg took to Sony Pictures to become a billion-dollar film and television phenomenon, with two hugely successful feature films, an animated television series, and a third feature, MIB 3, on the way.

Rosenbergâs focus on creators led to a history-making deal in 1992. When the seven top-selling artists in comics defected from Marvel Comics to form Image Studios, Rosenberg signed them to a label deal at Malibu to distribute their comics until their own company was up and running. The deal shook the comics industry and made headlines in the business world (click here for more info), changing the comics business forever. The first Malibu-distributed Image comic book was the first independent comic to hit #1 on the sales charts, and independents have been a staple of the top 20 comics ever since.

In 1994 Marvel Comics beat out a host of suitors and acquired Malibu Comics (click here for more info). Rosenberg continues to work with Marvel Comics to develop more Malibu characters for a variety of film and television projects÷including Prime, in development at Universal as a feature film÷which Rosenberg is executive producing.

Since 1997, Platinum Studios has built a library including comics from around the world in over 20 different languages, ranging from the Awesome Comics universe, which includes the ground-breaking reinventions of Supreme and Youngblood by acclaimed writer Alan Moore, to Jeremiah, the long-running graphic novel series by Belgian artist Hermann Huppen, published by SAF Comics, to the popular American independent comics series Ninja High School by writer/artist Ben Dunn. Upcoming comics include projects from award-winning creators like Marv Wolfman, Dean Motter, and Steven Grant, and an array of writers and artists working to expand the Platinum Megaverse, encompassing hundreds of original characters and stories.

Rosenberg has long been a pioneer in bringing multimedia technology to comics: at Malibu he worked with Adobe to develop the system of computer coloring for comic books (which is now the industry standard), and released the first comics on CD, called CDRomix, published by Davidson. Now, Rosenberg and Platinum, working closely with Adobe, are envisioning the comic books of the future: electronic comics, animated panels from the actual comics with voice-overs, sound effects, and music from top music companies.

Film and TV representation is handled by The William Morris Agency, Creative Artists Agency and others, depending upon the project. Animated productions are repped by The Gotham Group, and interactive representation by Fog Studios.
