I know the comics are out of print, but does anyone have a lead as to where I could get my hands on some used ones?

Wow... I"m nowhere near the MYST-omaniac that some of you are... but here's my list:
MYST (Original Mac Version)
MYST (Windows Version - Mac was better  )
RealMYST
Riven
Exile
Uru: Ages Beyone MYST
BoA
BoT
BoD
(All in hardback)
(I never believed in the hint or strategy guides, so I deny their very existence)
Oh.. yeah... and lotsa fond memories of the short-lived Uru: Live
(Sorry, had to get that jab in...)

LOL  I have the Myst Hints and Solutions and that Rocket Ship puzzle with the keyboard just drives me insane everytime, although the book is no help with that as you have to reproduce the sound. I have the Exile book as well, but in my defence that did come free with the Exile Collectors Edition |

Ok, I'll fess up:
Uru
... that's it.
My Myst CD is somewhere in my parent's basement. Riven was my little brother's and I never finished it........ *ducks* *hides*
Never played Exile because it wasn't Cyan.
I did order the trilogy though! It should be in soon!
I have a lot of catching up to do!

Who are you, Brian Fioca? Were you a DRC spy all along?

I only have the Exile strategy guide bacause it came with my Collector's Edition as well. It was tempting me to use it, but I refrained.
I have never used a hint book walkthrough or strategy to beat a Myst game. I only used a info one the eastereggs after beating the games.

Right on, Tehl! There's no fun in exploration if you have a book tell you what to do.
I can't tell you how irritated I was when I was in my wife's bookstore (she manages a local Barnes & Noble, God bless her..) and saw the Uru strategy guide on the shelves... BEFORE I got my invitation to go... uh... go to the that place we can't go anymore. 
I would have liked to see the Exile guide, tho. I heard it had a little more backstory to what Sirrus and Achenar did to torture Saavedro. It's my secret hope that they will someday write books to fill the voids between the games.
It's my second secret hope that I spelled "Sirrus", "Achenar", and "Saavedro" properly.

Nothing wrong with a little help now and again 
Yes there is some info in the Exile book on various events that have happened, but not much.
Yep you spelt the names right CuzinJohn |

Yeah, ... I admit it.
It's a good thing I had a great group of people to back me up when people started asking deep questions. The good thing is, I really do know a lot about everything now, I pick things up really fast. (Also, Farlesis and his never ending trove of information really helps a lot.) I really was just in the right place at the right time with the right ideas, but I'm really glad I was.
It just goes to show that anyone can change the world.

Thanks for the link Kiki, I did see on ebay that there is a hardback edition of BoD up for auction and it wasn't expensive, whether more people have place a bid since I saw it I don't know. For those who haven't got the books, they are always up for auction on EBay and usually going for around $12 instead of the $80 that I've seen in places like Amazon.
I'm sure I read somewhere there were five comics made? |

Nope. Definitely only two comics were ever printed. What you probably were reading was a reference to the fact that #1 of the Book of the Black Ships" series was one of four. Together with Myst #0 that would total five. However, they only printed #1, there was no 2-4. I emailed Dark Horse Comics to confirm this so I would stop looking for no reason.
