Reading column comments

Question about column comments.

SQL> create table abc
  2 ( id1 int,
  3 id2 int);

SQL> comment on column abc.id1 is 'a comment';

SQL> select comments from dba_col_comments where table_name = 'abc';

The comment for abc.id1 is not found with the select. Question : Should the comment be in dba_col_comments ?
