As a result of her acquired background, she was promoted to Head of the Microanalytical Section then in 1945, she obtained a similar post with the British Leather Manufacturers Research Association. Two years later, Comer was invited to become Head of the newly formed Microanalytical Section of the Chemical Research Laboratory (later the National Chemical Laboratory). 

Then, she joined the staff of the British Cotton Industry Research Association at the Shirley Institute, Manchester, researching the minor constituents of cotton — particularly the complex mixture of substances present in cotton wax and their reaction products during the bleaching and finishing of cotton fibre. Her results were published in a series of papers in the Textile Industry Journal and in the Memoirs of the Shirley Institute.
