P.A.C.A.S.

The Professional Amigos of Comic Art Society or P.A.C.A.S. was a non-profit organization founded by Saldaña and fellow comic book creators Richard Dominguez, Jose Martinez, and Fernando Rodriguez in 1995. The purpose of which was to unite various cartoonists, writers, colorists, letterers and publishers in the shared goal of using networking and dialogue between themselves in order to assist their various projects in the hopes of expanding the opportunities for social growth in the comic art community. The group disbanded a few years after its inception, with the only lasting tributes found online, an official website run by Carlos Saldaña and an official MySpace page maintained by members of Dominguez's own 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." Rumors persist of a possible revival, but there is currently no official confirmation.
