To show this, do the following:

Insert the ‘Comment’ field again as a form field and change the code as below in the ‘Code’ view.

<SharePoint:FormField runat="server" controlmode="Edit" . . ./>

to

<SharePoint:AppendOnlyHistory runat="server" controlmode="Display" . . ./>

Now your comments history would start showing as in the standard form!
