While trying to meet girls he enrolled in night classes for art earning an O-level and discovering his talent. John later attended Wallasey College of Art. After graduation he got a job in the field of medical illustration (artists who witness autopsies and create pictures of anatomy for textbooks) at Royal Marsden Hospital London.

    Higgins has a close working relationship with writer Alan Moore, being the colorist for the legendary classics Watchmen and Batman: the Killing Joke earning him a place in history. He also collaborated on Garth Ennis's Pride and Joy and Punisher Max, co-created World Without End with Jamie Delano. He was writer-penciler-inker-colourist on his creator-owned title Razorjack, Higgins has said he's done his best work on Thunderbolt Jaxon.
