Being mind-controlled into destroying yourself by a mystery child is just one of those things in science fiction settings, but being mind-controlled by a kid dressed and coiffured like that is somehow downright embarrassing. I can understand robo-hobo being rather put out.
And those aliens in the back are _very_, well, Richard Corben-y.
What’s up with that floating human arm? Judging by the look on the creature’s face, he has perhaps just discovered that it’s attached to a naked human babe!
So it’s called Warchild, but the armed person is an elderly cyborg. Maybe Warchild is mohawk boy lying there doing nothing, and he doesn’t commit war so much as dully watch it happening.
Is that a fossil or robot turtle over on the left?
It’s a Richard Corben cover, and it’s awesome on its own (Corben passed away last year)… so I can’t speak ill of it.
But the blurb…
“Thrust through many dimensions, he has to defeat the powers that threaten to enslave all…”
Blurb, simplified:
“He’s been pushed through many dimensions and now he’s got to kill some dudes that are bad news.”

I like that cyber-Santa is taking the time out from what seems to be a difficult situation to give mohawk man a thumbs up,
