I assume you already have font-locking (syntax-highlighting) enabled?

Anyway, this should do the trick (put in your .emacs):
  (set-face-foreground 'font-lock-comment-face "purple")

This is *global*, so will also affect the way comments are shown in other
modes.

If you want to customize many more of the colors, it might be worthwhile to
define your own color theme; I blogged about that:

Best wishes,
Dirk.
