Tear Gas in the Morning, written and drawn by Katie Miranda, is the story of Barbara Silverman, a Jewish-American artist volunteering as an activist and human rights worker in the West Bank. The story is based around the author's own personal experiences and the experiences of real life Palestinians, Israelis, and international volunteers. The story takes place primarily in the West Bank cities of Hebron and Ramallah, following Barbara's transformation from a naîve and idealistic volunteer trying to save the world, to a seasoned activist hardened by a year and a half of nonviolent resistance and human rights work in one of the world's most complex conflict zones.
