By the Elongated Man’s third story in Flash #119 (January 1961), the writers had decided to marry Ralph Dibny to debutante Sue Dearbon, making him the second DC super-hero to be married (Hawkman/Hawkgirl being the first). On their honeymoon they run into a strange underwater world and Sue calls for help from the Flash. I always loved how Sue Dibny was portrayed in the 1960s: beautiful, fun-loving, and often intense.
