Carruthers was born on May 11, 1962 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and describes his earliest memory of anything comic book related as watching Batman on television when he was three.
He also attended Sheridan College in Ontario, taking its Illustration program and took a correspondence course with The Joe Kubert School.
He began drawing at four when he recreated an illustration of a robot stamp. Even at this early age, he was able to accurately reproduce a larger version of this stamp. Carruthers trained at Holland College between 1979–1981 in its Commercial Design Program (later renamed Graphic Design) which he now teaches.
