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.

The group disbanded a few years after its inception.

Estudio group from Mexico.
