Looking for sample pages from iconic comics

I'll be teaching a university primer course on comics pretty soon, and while I've got my primary texts (Eisner, McCloud, Moore, Gaiman, Spiegelman etc.), I'm looking for some sample pages for the first one or two sessions where we'll look at formal features and things to analyse. I'll probably grab some pages from Ghost World, Y: Last Man, Blankets and a few other comics I've got myself, but I'd quite like to give them a page or two from classic/iconic comics, e.g. a Batman (nothing too modern or experimental) and something like Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck (something by Carl Barks?).
Can I find the latter (iconic super hero page, classic Disney comic) on the web, legally, in okay to good quality? I'm not looking for scans of the entire books, just a page each, so we can look at things such as iconic characters, the use of frames etc. Since I live in Switzerland, it's not all that easy to get these in a library.

Here's one from The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, which I've always liked.
You could also try checking out this thread, where we show pages from comics we enjoy.
If you have any specific character requests, post them, and that'll probably help us dig stuff up. Really though, Google should get you what you need, you'll just have to comb through some garbage.

Issue #5, Coyote Gospel, and issues #22-#26 are especially good in that regard.
Also, Flex Mentallo (if you can find it).

@Robos A Go Go: you wouldn't happen to have a bigger scan of that one, would you?

(spoiled for size)
And basically any page from All-Satr Superman, which are in the first page of the awesome moments thread.
And this was always an iconic Spider-Man image for me:
And this page from Justice League International is always iconic for not messing with Batman:
It takes place after he finds out his wife is pregnant.
And I enjoy these pages from a Spider-Man Annual written by Matt Fraction.

Well known Spider Man scene, re-used in movies and other mediums.
And this was always a nice Batman image, was from Dark Knight Returns series, and I had a poster of it too when I was wee.
Anyone able to find the Spidey lifting the rubble shot? that's pretty referenced too.
Sensational She-Hulk during the early issues had some good use of meta humor/breaking the 4th wall too.
Why is Pete not wearing socks in that scan
That has ruined that panel forever now.
I think it's implying something with the suit. Like he doesn't wear socks when he's in the suit. And he just...took off the suit right there, threw on his jammies, and walked home.
glad I'm not the only one who thought that
