It COULD be shown in the main table - but since Calibre does not support word-wrapping within a column (for performance reasons) it would be of limited use. It IS shown in the book details panel when you click on a specific book.

Now I added a book with ISBN 3518390511.
All is found - but noting is in the comment field in the metadata.
That field is only filled in by simply adding a book if there is already comments included in the metadata embedded in the book.

If it is not already there then you either need to fill it in manually, or use the Calibre facility for getting metadata for the web. You can tune what data sources are used for metadata, and also what fields should be filled in when you retrieve metadata from an online source.

The quaility and extent of metadata available from the web sources varies widely so what you get is determined what any particular supplier(s) provide for a given book.
