About this Collection

This softcover collection brings together the complete story of 'California Dreamin'', a German graphic novel originally published in 2016 by Carlsen Comics. It follows the intertwined lives of young people in Berlin, exploring themes of friendship, love, and the search for identity against a backdrop of urban change. The volume is a standalone narrative, not part of a larger series, and is noted for its atmospheric artwork and slice-of-life storytelling.

California Dreamin' #nn delivers a heartfelt, visually rich portrait of Ellen Cohen—before she became the iconic Cass Elliot—chronicling her early years with warmth and authenticity. Written and illustrated by Pénélope Bagieu, with contributions from Nanette McGuinness, the story captures the spirit of a young woman finding her voice in a changing world, all rendered in Bagieu’s expressive, evocative style. The cover by Bagieu perfectly sets the mood, blending nostalgia and quiet determination.
