The Professional Amigos of Comic Art Society (P.A.C.A.S. or PACAS, the Spanish word "pacas" meaning "bundle of goods") is a defunct American non-profit organization formed by several independent comic book and cartoon creators in 1995.[1][2] Original founders include creators Richard Dominguez, Carlos Saldaña, Jose Martinez, and Fernando Rodriguez.[3] The majority of members lived in California, leaving Dominguez as the self-described "lonely Tejano", but the group was also associated with Oscar Loya and the ¡Ka-Boom! Estudio group from Mexico.

Unfortunately the group disbanded a few years after its inception. The only lasting tributes can be found online, an official website run by Carlos Saldaña and an official MySpace page maintained by members of the Azteca Productions staff. The latter of which promises to be updated with the "latest news regarding former PACAS members and any current projects they happen to be working on."[4] Rumors persist of a possible revival, but there is currently no official confirmation.
