Sensation Comics (1943), No. 22, published by DC Comics in October 1943, is a notable Golden Age comic book because it features the second appearance of the Cheetah (Priscilla Rich). 

Issue Information

The comic was originally priced at $0.10 and contained 60 pages. The primary story, "The Secret Submarine," was written by William Moulton Marston (under the pseudonym Charles Moulton) with art by Harry G. Peter. 

The plot involves the villain Priscilla Rich, who appears to be reformed, but is in fact still the Cheetah, framing her former slave, Sandra, for a series of crimes. The Cheetah traps Wonder Woman and Etta Candy in a stolen submarine and forces Wonder Woman into enslavement. Wonder Woman eventually outsmarts her, breaks free, and captures the villain, though Priscilla again requests Amazon reformation at the end of the story.
