Comparative-period P&L is not yet implemented in GnuCash. (but as Chris Lamm noted, he has a testing version of the report that *might* fit your needs - if you can try it, please do so)
One reason it has not been implemented is that when I began (2007) using gnucash for organizational accounting I was advised not to bother. A non-profit, for annual reports, always shows this year vs last year Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues and Expenses (what a non-profit calls P&L). As a recently retired senior analyst, decades designing/writing financial systems software, and able to at least read LISP, I could presumably have managed the scheme for these special reports. And if I wrote them, I would have shared them.
The lawyer/accountant who said "do it outside of gnucash with a full power editor" was persuasive, correct that there would STILL be a lot of editing remaining to be done, so better to do all editing at one time with one tool designed for the purpose.
