In 1999, he decided to self-publish a project of his own, something where he would have complete control вЂ“ Razorjack. It was while working on World Without End that Higgins realised the process of doing fully painted comics was financially unfeasible and line work was the way forward.Д«ut in the US comics industry you're but a cog in a huge machine, and Higgins has always welcomed control over his work. This was a fully painted six-issue sci-fi series published in 1990 set in a world where genetic mutation creates the ultimate battle of the sexes. Suddenly there was interest in Higgins' work from the big American publishers such as DC Comics, and a free rein to co-create World Without End alongside writer Jamie Delano. It tells of the Joker's attempt to send Commissioner Gordon insane. The Killing Joke, published in 1988, is widely regarded as one of the finest Dark Knight stories.

Watchmen quickly became a cult classic and this, combined with his work on Batman: The Killing Joke also by Moore, raised Higgins' profile as an artist considerably. This relationship with Moore was cemented when artist Dave Gibbons approached Higgins to join him and Alan on the Watchmen team.

The pace and versatility of the work at 2000 AD meant Higgins would often have to vary his style from one week to the next painting in full colour a Judge Dredd strip for the 2000 AD Annual or drawing a black and white line Future Shock story written by Alan Moore. Then-editor Steve McManus gave him the opportunity to join the small group of regular artists who worked for 2000 AD during the 1980s. Honing his skills luckily coincided with more and more commissions from 2000 AD, the perfect focus for his interests. Trying to concentrate on his passion for all things sci-fi, Higgins took on a variety of illustration work covering advertising, book illustration, animation, comics and magazine covers. In December 1977, Higgins completed his first commission for 2000 AD вЂ“ home of Judge Dredd вЂ“ while also illustrating for SF Monthly.
