There were Several Comics Series which Featured Cave People & Dinosaurs Together...
...but none weirder than this never-reprinted series, which added Chariots of the Gods-type aliens into the mix!
To be fair, writer Don Glut explained how the giant lizards and proto-people existed side by side, using the classic Lost World/Savage Land explanation of an isolated area where the prehistoric creatures avoided extinction...
Tragg was incorporated into an already-existing universe of characters at Gold Key also written by Don Glut, including present-day mystic Doctor Spektor and ancient warrior Dagar the Invincible, even doing crossovers through space and time with those other characters!
We're not going to re-present the tales in Wednesday Worlds of Wonder (which would end up running from now to next Spring non-stop), but here are links to the entire series, since every chapter featured dinosaurs....

The Answer is:
None of the covers have anything to do with any of the stories inside the comics!

Were the covers done first as "springboards" for potential stories, but for whatever reason, the stories were dropped at some stage (script/pencils/inks)?
Sadly, we'll never know the answer!
