The Fifty-Foot Press is Abigail’s DIY publishing imprint and risograph studio.

With the help of a second-hand riso duplicator, Abigail has been producing zines, pamphlets, and poster prints for sale and distribution at zine fairs and independent art markets across the UK since 2022. Abigail has previously tabled at Glasgow Zine Fest (Glasgow CCA, 2023), Queer & Now (Tate Britain, 2023), and Wellcome Zine Takeover (Wellcome Collection, 2023), alongside making appearances at indie zine fairs in Margate, Norwich, Leeds, and London. Abigail’s zines can also be found within the special collections of the Wellcome Collection and the University of Lincoln libraries; as part of a wider accession of materials related to The Giantess Speaks, a selection of Abigail’s zines will be archived by the Bishopsgate Institute and the University of Toronto in 2026.

In 2026, Abigail will be embarking on a major expansion of her risograph printing and DIY publishing endeavours. In late 2026, The Fifty-Foot Press will be publishing Volume 1 of A Great Knight, a graphic novel by transfemme artist and illustrator “LoveThruPoke”, with further volumes to be issued in the future. In June 2026, the Press will also be printing and publishing Bug In A Cage: Five Essays + A Comedy Sketch on the Philosophy of Size Kink, an anthology of essays and writings by kink philosopher and fiction author “Quinn” exploring the cultures of niche kink communities through a critical queer and feminist lens, and a magazine and events calendar assembled in collaboration with The Queer Love Co. — a queer matchmaking organisation based in south-east London that regularly hosts community social events, and which connects other queer event producers and curators across London together through their offshoot Fruit Salad Events Collective.

Have you made a super cool piece of art you’ve been desperate to turn into a print for ages? Are you a keen hobbyist, out to try your hand at a creative technique you’ve never had a go at before? Or maybe you’ve had an idea for a zine, one that’s absolutely rammed full of insanely important ideas, thoughts, philosophical concepts, or swelteringly hot takes on politics or pop culture everyone and their mother needs to hear right this bloody instant, but what you haven’t got is a way to mass-produce it for distribution to the masses. Whatever it might be that’s provoking your burning itch to do some Riso-ing of your own, you’re in luck as here at the Fifty-Foot Press, we strongly believe in sharing our time, skills and printing equipment with absolutely anyone who wants to give it a crack, whether they’re an experienced professional artist or printmaker, or whether they’re a total novice out to have a bit of fun and try something new.

A GREAT KNIGHT

Robin desperately wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps. But hers are some mighty and extraordinarily daunting shoes to fill. For Robin is the daughter of a Great Knight — the giant knightesses who fight to protect her world from all manner of threats, from fearsome fire-breathing dragons to invading legions sent from foreign lands. Legend has it that such gallant giant daughters can only be born from royal bloodlines like Robin’s own, but young Robin is fast approaching adolescence, yet still she appears incapable of growing into the role Fate supposedly chose for her. Literally or figuratively...

Follow Ser Robin on her extraordinary adventure through this world of chivalry, cruelty, and tender, courageous heart, as she embarks on her quest to become the Great Knight she was always destined to be.

A Great Knight is the debut graphic novel by transfemme artist and illustrator “LoveThruPoke”. The Fifty-Foot Press is currently raising funds to produce and print physical copies of the first volume of the novel, with an aim to release in early 2027. The prints displayed on the left were printed in April 2026, and originally sold at the Sticky Fingers Publishing Fair; these prints are available to purchase here.

Below is a selection of works produced by the Fifty-Foot Press, as well as a few experimental pieces produced by Abigail during the years before the studio and press were established.
