"A Hope in Hell"

First, I have a favor to ask. Then a cool link.

1.) I was hoping to show my class a copy of the duel in hell between Dream and Chorozon from the first Sandman trade paperback. The name of the individual issue (I think it was #3) was called "A Hope in Hell." That duel has always been one of my favorite moments and I think it would be cool to show while we're talking about poetry and themes. Does anyone have a high quality scan of it? I don't have a scanner or the issue. I just want the duel pages.

2.) I stumbled on this forum where they started their own duel and it's pretty amazing. Check it out: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=9802. Anyone up for trying this on the blog?I'll start in the comments.


3.) For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about. Click the link and read the first post on the forum. It gives a summary of the duel between Dream and the demon and shows how the "idea duel" works.
