A bit rough perhaps, but it seems to work:

(add-hook 'dired-load-hook
		  #'(lambda ()
			  (defun dired-ispell-comments-and-strings ()
				;; Return nil for success, else offending file name.
				(let* ((filename (dired-get-filename))
					   buffer-read-only failure)
				  (condition-case err
					  (with-current-buffer (find-file filename)
						(save-excursion (ispell-comments-and-strings)))
					(error
					 (setq failure err)))
				  (when failure
					(dired-log "ispell-comments-and-strings error for %s:\n%s\n" filename failure)
					(dired-make-relative filename))))

			  (defun dired-do-ispell-comments-and-strings (&optional arg)
				"`ispell-comments-and-strings' marked (or next ARG) files."
				(interactive "P")
				(dired-map-over-marks-check (function dired-ispell-comments-and-strings)
											arg 'ispell-comments-and-strings t))

			  (define-key dired-mode-map "c" 'dired-do-ispell-comments-and-strings)))
