Also of note:
Our Army At War #284, September 1975, which has a two page feature called "A Glance Into Glanzman", which features several pages of Glanzman's rough notes/sketches for the USS Stevens stories, along with a short text by Allan Asherman.
Glanzman also did a feature called "Sam Glanzman's War Diary", which appeared in at least Our Army At War #242, #244, #266 and #269. These are two page features, the one I've seen is of the form of an illustrated letter home, covering similar ground to some of the Stevens stories.
Joe Kubert Presents #2, January 2013, in addition to the story listed above also has a five page article by Joe Kubert, "Sam Glanzman: A Sailor's Life", about Glanzman and featuring samples of his wartime illustrations.
Streetwise, 2000, an anthology of autobiographical comic stories published by TwoMorrows, has a 10 page Glanzman story ("Cook's Tour") about other parts of his life, including the time creating the USS Stevens stories, specifically how he came to do "Color Me Brave".
9-11 - The World's Finest Comic Book Writers & Artists Tell Stories To Remember, 2002, a benefit book prepared by DC after the events of September 11, 2001, contains a 4 page contribution by Sam Glanzman, "There Were Tears In Her Eyes", about his feelings regarding the event, with reference to his experiences and feelings regarding the Second World War.
Comic Book Artist #5 (Summer 1999), published by TwoMorrows, features 7 pages about Glanzman (interview, articles, autobio).
There are apparently at least two unpublished stories in the "Of War and Peace" series that ran in Savage Tales that were in some stage of production, one called "My Son, My Son" and the other called "Even Dead Birds Have Wings". "My Son, My Son" seems to cover similar ground to the story in Joe Kubert Presents #1 and "Even Dead Birds Have Wings" is scheduled to be published in Dover's A Sailor's Story collection in 2015.
Reprints of some of the stories can be found in:
____ Kamikaze - America at War: The Best of DC War Comics - October 1979
