Fetching first 5 values against every value in another column in another table

Hi guys, hope this is the right section for this question.
I have 2 tables, topics (topic_id - pk) and comments (comment_id - pk, topic_id - fk). For all the topics, I want to get first 5 comment IDs in one go. Can you give me insights into how to go about it please?

Use a join and limit the select to 5

also you can add 'order by comment_id ASC' (i.e ascending order of comments)

You answer may be using a combination of GROUP_CONCAT and FIND_IN_SET:
