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]
The group disbanded a few years after its inception.
Membership
[edit]Original founders include creators Richard Dominguez, Carlos Saldaña, Jose Martinez, and Fernando Rodriguez.[3] The majority of members lived in California, leaving Dominguez (who lived in Texas) as the self-described "lonely Tejano", but the group was also associated with Oscar Loya and the ¡Ka-Boom! Estudio group from Mexico.
